just finished up a long build... some of you may have seen this car's former years, but it's been completely overhauled. it's had quite a few owners, but now it's not only home, it's my own. the interior, suspension, glass, & paint have been entirely reworked... the drivetrain rebuilt and the engine bay cleaned up in a dark, understated fashion. the details are what I love the most... having sold the pontiac to get this bucket list car of mine, I had to do this one up, and mild meets wild kustom flare it what I was going for. --- our full length short film on the Lone Wolf: --- --- trailer to our short film: --- 1959 Buick Lesabre power train: -1976 Buick Electra chassis/drivetrain swap -7.5L 455 Buick BB V8 motor w/turbo 400 transmission | Colby racing -3.73 10-bolt rear end w/custom heavy duty yoke -power steering/front disc brakes w/finned rear drums -dual super 10 series flowmaster cans with turndowns | Babe's lightning muffler -yellow-top Optima suspension | #becausebags: -custom front and rear airbag & shock mounts -custom c-notch -3x5 gallon (15 gallons) air tanks -dual OB2 Air Zenith compressors -height sensor based management | masoair -1/4” air line wheels: -custom built 15x6” full chrome artillery wheels | Wheel Vintiques -staggered bullet caps -stainless stepped beauty rings -BFG radial white wall tires interior: -full custom pleated & diamond stitched interior | chava -5 colors of zodiac sparkle vinyl -marine grade sapphire carpet -fully upholstered dash, firewall, tunnel, rear deck lid, trunk, and fender liners -custom hand painted metallic gold gauge & window crank accents -custom blue flaked steering wheel -1960 buick interior door handles/arm rests -dome light delete -sun visor delete -green/shaded front windshield glass -clear rear & side glass exterior: -shaved door handles, mirrors, emblems, antenna, drip rail trim, fender trim, & side valence trim -smoothed rear bumper pan -nosed -decked -custom key-hole delete stainless door trim -cobalt blue metallic paint -lil daddy roth crystal beth AND flip-flop flaked body | garage works -flaked & paneled roof & dash | TP Customs -“The Lone Wolf” hand painted enamel | DGNFYD signs -wiper delete -front turn signal delete -custom tube grill -custom 3” front bumper drop -under carriage accent lighting -custom pearlescent Wagner sealed beam headlights ---

Beautiful. I was gonna say gorgeous, but garth said it first, so I'll stick with beautiful. Sexy car.
Awesome! Nice to see a custom created from a car you don't see very often. It really is beautiful. Great job!
WOW That car is SMOKIN...I've always loved the 59 Buick. Best looking car to come out of Detroit in 59'.
I'm confident I'm the first in the old school scene to do it. thanks...that's my pride & joy. I designed it myself from the ground up, sourced all material, and worked side-by-side with my upholsterer on every detail. so happy with it and glad it's going over well. there's another blue, 2-tone '59 I've seen around NorCal...I bet that's the one.
