    Just beautiful. Love the roof and fender lines of all the '60 Buicks.

    The stock wheel covers do look great. I'm warring with myself over visualizing the car with later Buick factory mags (MotorWheel 500s?). I guess that would be cheez, but I'd rock 'em.

    Supremes will fit if you upgrade your front hubs to a few years more modern. Used 65 Riviera hubs. I upgraded my LeSabre, got rid of the lug bolts and can fit different rims now.

    Stock steelies chromed would rock. And if you can find a set of 5x5 spiders, I want a set!

    Got the beast, which i think im going to call " Big 9 " sanded down ready for gold base for the flake. Probably gonna shoot it friday or saturday.


    I thought about running spider caps on it but Buick makes the UGLIEST stock wheels. They dont look good without full caps or replaced with aftermarket wheels

    I liked the look in the first couple of pictures and the WHAMMO!!! The inside pics with the lights on the flake really blew me away. That ride looks great!

    Very nice!! The flake makes quite a difference. I' do that/interior, and keep the stock caps on it. Looks great that way.
