    As cool as those Cad wheel covers look Buick sombrero’s would be perfect on your car.

    Roughed in the headlights to see if I'd like them. Removed the quarters from my donor this afternoon, fitting the bubble skirts. Chasing a vapor lock issue

    How much did you pay for that if you don't mind me asking. I'm currently looking for one myself have been for a while. I don't really want one all finished and perfect.

    Really nice car & plans. Tacos go well with anything, just like that Buick. Good on you.
