    I am new to the board and new to the Texas area. I am originally from KY and not far from the Buick Nats in Bowling Green, but after moving down here i was wondering if there are any Dallas area buick guys on the board?

    If so, can you leave a post with what cars you have and where you are located?

    Thanks.

    Thanks guys! My car is actually still in KY at the moment awaiting a fresh 430 build up to drop in where the old built 350 was. It has been sitting for a year or two and needs some fresh paint etc.

    I am hoping to put some money in it soon and have it down here for the summer...yes no air is going to be miserable with black vynl. :ball:

    As soon as i can get it running well and down here I will try to meet up for a cruise.

    I have seen a couple buicks driving on the streets here in Arlington.

    Sounds great. I am looking for a good classic car body shop in the DFW area...I live in North Richland Hills and i pass what looks to be a good shop on my way to work...can't remember the name.

    Any suggestions on who to let work on the car?
