Technical Daily drivers...the good, bad and the ugly.

Hell yeah!! Its Friday turn up the shop stereo (I'll have Gorilla Biscuits blasting in mine tonight!) And get that shit knocked out!

 

And 3 years later.Bruce.

 

Nice!!! I love those wagons!!! That thing looks killer. Nice job man.

 

Nice wagon, BUT, nothing uglier IMHO than HEADRESTS on a car!

 

Got her brand new shoes today...definitely not Coker's but for under $400 it works for me. Better then the shredded truck tires that were on her before...



And this evenings soundtrack...Reverend Horton Heat...

 

Tires look good, you are going to have a cool car soon.

 

Yup look good, and small balance weights, rims must be nice and tru....

 

I had to look up the Reverend. Pretty good stuff. You would probably enjoy this event then.

 

Yeap, I'll be there, if I'm still living here..

 

I like the thin whites on that car.

 

I've been kicking around the idea of switching to thin whites next time I need tires. Could you share the details on the tires? Like size and brand? $200 a piece for these Firestones kill me.

 

IBTD 20"+ wheels

 

U win!

 

Needing parts help, I can't find one of these things anywhere...I need the driver's side parking light bezel/assembly...anyone seen one, lol...about to make me right crazy...

 

I swear those look like parking light bezels from '64-66 GMC/Chevy van.

 

There is a Buick like I yours in the woods in my buddies back yard where we store our parts cars. I'll look and see if there still on it.

 

Do me a favor and look to see if it has a flipping windshield too lolol...

Thanks guys!

 

If it does I yank it out for ya!!!

 

Those look a lot like the reverse lights on my 1950 caddy. Wouldnt be surprised

 

They look a lot like the back up lights on my 51 Chevy too....

 

My day to day driver. Love the Buick. My grandmother had two pink hardtops loved rideing in them as a kid.

 

I just caught a set, thanks to a Cali contact...thanks for the halp!

 

Good deal. I'll check for that glass this weekend. If you need other odd ball parts let me know and I'll look for those too

 

Thank you kindly!

 

Here's my daily driver

 

Check out this guy, he has some Buick stuff for sure. He had the parking lights for my Ford, super to deal with. If you don't see it on his site, shoot him an email or call him.

Hey Nailhead

I had a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham...no option for a new glass. I found a guy locally who was able to polish all of the scratches out of the screen. Not perfect but it took it from un-driveable at night to great!

It was cheaper than new glass as well.

Might be worth looking into.

 

Hey guys, my mother passed away unexpectedly on December 27th due to complications to her cancer, so I haven't had time to work on it but had a friend help while I've been gone. Here's a progress pic...she's also being kicked out of the shop once again and I won't have anywhere to work on her, so she's going to the back burner once again. I would shade tree it but winter in Tennessee isn't fun to work on cars in. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a fabulous new year...

Kind of a sorry end of the year for you. Condolences to you and life has its twists and turns always. Car looks to be coming along. Good for you...and hopes for a better year.

 

Sorry about your mom.
Your car is looking good, will be watching for progress reports this spring.
