    Very nice. I think Cragar S/S wheels make just about anything look tougher! Good choice.

    455? I wish mine had big-block power ('65 300/355 4v). Ahh, maybe someday...

    At first I thought that the title was "My 19" of happiness" and thought I was on the wrong site!:Dou:

    Nice car by the way. I was just looking at a pic of a 68 Flint LeSabre police car. Wished I had one of those to tweak, some of them came with 430's.

    GreenDemon,we need your name in your sig so we know who you are:bglasses: .You have a nice car there,nice choice on the wheels too_On the issue of paint/chrome for the tin,I'll say paint them.Buick red and black under the hood makes for a very detailed contrast IMHO,and everybody knows that red is hot:beer.That aside,the other factory red engine that I can think of is for a Ford application that I've seen but can't name.I see red engines all over the place that weren't red from the factory,I think that red shows well on a Buick engine especially when wrapped around green.I'll second the suggestion of driving for a while,enjoy that boat for a while.Post more pics as you can:TU:

    .33" difference? Really? I guess I will have to be 1/3" less happy with it then!

    Once again... Thanks for all the compliments! I walk out to the garage every day just to look at it and dust it off... it makes me happy!

    Any suggestions as to which company makes a good carpet replacement? I've seen a few sites that sell them but I was wondering which might be the best/ reasonably priced.

    I think I will go with painting the engine red. A lot more time consuming but cheaper than chrome. Plus, the car will be stored all winter... nothing but time on my hands then... ya right! Work, family, school, sleep... :beers2: and then maybe time for the Green Demon!

    Thanks people!:TU:
