Here's my '75 The brown paint is good and near original, but it needs a repair under the rear window. I don't think the metalic will match well so... The motor is getting redone, and next is the exterior but I cannot "see" what it needs to "become" :idea2: The muses do not speak to me, and the internet has no examples. Some of the Omega's nova's got done up, but not sure what to do with these lines. I want to add a hidden ram air, but the lines will be stock.
Worth a look? http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2012/09/13/tired-of-being-ignored-improving-the-last-gsx/ Devon
I've seen guys take the hydraulic bumper cylinders off of the bumpers, and do away with the painted filler pieces between the body and the bumpers. Then they brought the bumpers in (maybe with fabbed brackets) to make it look cleaner, and I think it works well on the "big bumper" cars. Also, if those bumper guards are bolt-on, un bolt them and do away with them for a cleaner look. Might mean you have to do away with the black rubber strip, so be it. Even cleaner. Wheel and tire combo and slight forward rake will take it from zero to hero in a hurry. I'm stick with 15" rims in the back and 14" rims in the front, and pick the right tire sizes to nail the look. Keep the brown paint, it's nice.
Thanks for the ideas so far. But I more want it to evoke the quincy jones monney runner feeling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_hI8knJAo With an x-body, it's best to let it be it's funky self and then say yeah it's a '75 when you walk a 60 something... I've been thinking of the hood scoops and a ram air box > get every ounce extra outa the 350. And I like the GSX's lines, may add that spoiler but the grill insert seems like a pain. But I was thinking of keeping the 75 sklylark/appollo general look though, I've got lots of documentation to make it a clone... I am thinking of somehow doing it up as the 70's would with modern flair. What do you guys think? of painting a dark brown wedge and some 70's funk stenciling of "Buick 350" on it. so like this but drk brown for the silver, stock saddle for the black and no pinstrip and a bit more angular down on the back/ up on the front? I want it to be unique.
