Some people were asking when I was gonna do an update on the Buick so here it is. I finished up the interior (lacking the headliner) JC whitney seat covers, and I sewed my own door panels thanks to Tech articles on here, laid some carpet in it and hooked up the autoloc setup for the doors.. Finished up the front end and swapped out the coils for some shortened s10 coils. Plans for now is to repaint the front fender to match the rest of the car and cruise it (unless someone offers me enough for it.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! i need to call j.c.whitney and see if they have that upholstery for a '54 Olds,in red...
Man that looks good! Always been a Buick fan!!! I have '51 Buick grille in my '56 Pontiac too! Any chance of some more pics of the seat covers? I was considering those myself! How's the quality and which ones are they? JC Whitney has a half a million in their catalog and alot of 'em look the same in there. Johnny
The seat covers are of good quality. I have installed them in 5 cars (not all mine) now. They are the leather grained hevyweight vinyl ones on page 80 of their new catalog (the one w the rt 66 sign on it) They are made by autocraft interiors. Follow the instructions and the types of seats in the dirrections and they fit good. I have used them in a 51 ford, a 56 studebaker, and a couple of others that I cannot think of right now
Nice lookin Buick.I've been over in Ashton quite a bit lately.Maybe now that the weather is getting better I'll spot ya.Nice interior work.Was the T&R pre fab or did you do it yourself?
nickychevy60 the t&r is prefab. Stop by Rochelle sometime if you are in Ashton. We are working on a killer 56 chevy now
