    I've been working on this 56 Buick for close to four years. The only thing not done in my garage was the seat recovering. I had help from some great friends. All thats left is the chrome, but I don't have the bank account for that right now. so it's time to cruise!:D
    Hope you dig the pics.

    SWEET! I think the "OTHER" brands in 56-57 put Chevy to shame when it comes to styling.

    Krylon Rust Tough enamel. Looks good going down the road. Really easy to smudge though. Don't clear it, it turns grey....
