    Cool. One of my favorites for Kustom fodder. So what are your plans for it?

    Depending on what you're looking for some stuff from other GM makes will fit. I also own a 60 LeSabre 4dr flattop and have done some upgrades.

    Upgrade all the air ride on it, fix the rust on it and have it painted the same green but paint the roof pearl white, do some engine dress up and some preformance nothing crazy though and I would like to get some astro supremes for it




    Right now I am looking for some trim and interior peices, also looking for some fenders.

    Cool - Congrats
     
  6. Astro Supremes! Hell yeah! '60 Buicks have always been one of my favorite cars. You have excellent taste. The four door sedans have the vibe of the sport coupe, with that long,sweeping, almost fastback look going on. Dig it.

    Sorry to say trim is brand specific. Although from tops of doors up, all 59-60 GM cars can interchange stuff. Has to be same model type, I.E. sedan to sedan hardtop to hardtop.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I love this buick. I have been into building mini trucks for the last 6 years and switched over. Older cars are way cooler than mini trucks. I also have a 1951 Chevy Styline deluxe that was in the movie Shawshank redemption I have been working on.



    I plan on ditching it eventually. I would like to ditch the whole torque tube too. It leaks a little when I air the car out because its put in a bind. Also have been looking into an old Mc Collough Supercharger for it and not sure if the stock rear end could handle it.



    Rockers interchange dont they? And front windows?

    Rears are pretty stout. If you can find a 61 the pumpkin will swap out for open driveline. All windows swap and I think long as its same number of doors rockers can swap yes.
