    BuickLeSabre1960 Hot Dogs Anyone?

    I haven't been able to do as much on my car latley as I have wanted to but I have been able to get some stuff done none the less :TU: . Since I've had the parts car (got it here in Febuary) I've got this stuff done:
    Switched taillights and housings
    Horn system
    Front emblem
    Some stainless trim
    Some Glass
    Steering Wheel and Column
    Hood trim
    BUICK Trunk trim
    Fuel Gauge
    Windshield Wiper switch
    Front Seat
    Door Panels
    Fuel Filter (went back to original glass type)
    Replaced Generator
    Hooked up original starting system

    Now I'm working on replacing the rear floor pans as they were not there. I still need to do alot on it but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (just to start all over on another project :laugh: )
    here are some pics of the progress I'l be getting some more as I can.

    I'll just post a few pics for now.

    It won't be too long before it's ready to be painted, only problem is I don't know how I'm gonna do it, I know I want two tone with flames other than that :Do No:

    Thanks, I took it to a car show the other day and it was smoking pretty bad out of the road draft tube so I did a compression test on it and it didn't look good. It's looking like the compression rings on a few of the cylinders are gone :ball: so I'm probably going to be reringing it soon, whenever I do I'm looking for a cam to put in also.

    Too cool! :TU:

    Looking good!

    Gerig, in my opinion you shouldnt flame that car. Paint it the glossiest black you can leave the roof white and some red pinstriping or somethin.

    I don't know what Im gonna do. I've designed an pinstipped emblem that I'm going to get put on the trunk that's gonna be red and I'm going to have custom port holes made for it. As far as the flames I think I might do a little, if you saw me you'd see why, at my Aunts wedding I was listed as the head arsonist in the order of service :af: :grin:
