bryan_m Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) ok guys, i said i would have some pics..... ive been lookin for an old car for a long time, and i found this one.......nearly in my backyard! this thing might be a little ugly, but it is solid as it can be! there are no holes in it, and it runs and drives.... doesnt even bother me that its a 4 door! i gotta have it.. more pics here: http://public.fotki....-buick-special/ cheers bryan Edited October 19, 2012 by bryan_m
bryan_m Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 nah, my buddy has a body shop mike...... as long as it is mechanically sound, i will probably just do the interior and the chrome for now......in small steps, cant afford to do it all at once. im really fired up about this car, its me all over! i had 2 67 buick specials, a 2 door and a 4 door.... i drove the 4 door for 5 years, i loved that car, but parts are way too expensive for it........a fender is nearly 1000 bucks! cheers bryan
