    Hi V8 Buick,

    This is my first attempt at building a Pro Touring anything and attempt at building a Buick. I bought the car last year with plans to flip the car for a profit but the car didn't sell. Anyways, I own it so that leaves me room to build it how I want - Pro Touring! Plans include but not limited to:

    1. Overdrive Transmission - 200-4R
    2. Wheels - STR 514 18x8.5 Fronts, 18x10 Rears
    3. Engine - Cam, intake, carb, Turbo
    4. Paint
    5. Suspension - coil overs, sway bars
    6. Brakes - Crossed drilled and slotted disc front, rear disc conversion
    7. Interior - TBD

    I will post pics of present state.

    I hope the first thing you do is get rid of those wheels that are on it. Other than that, you should be able to create a cool ride. They share the chassis with the monte carlo I believe so suspension parts might not be that hard to get. I would try to switch to a manual trans if you really want to track the car though. The automatic will be awful unless you went full manual valve body and a decent shifter.
    What engine are you going to use?
