    Yes, I sprayed it and did all the bodywork and chop. I cut the firewall to drop the windshield. That way I got hidden wipers and could use stock height windshields.

    I wouldn't walk across the street to look at a custom, BUT I'd pay to see your Buick. Damn fine job. Well thought out, well designed and well executed.
