    I recently changed the Wheels and tires on my Buick Wagon. Wide Whites and wires. I use to have 17" Boyds. I updated the transmission to a 700r4 with an adapter from Bendtsens, and a Ford 8.8 Rearend from a Mustang, Power Disc Brakes. What do you think.

  8. Lucky!, Looks nice. I got laid off, so I can't even afford new shoes for my real baby. Life is full of surprises.

    Great look!

    It seems somewhat ironic that it had old driveline and new dubs, and now it's got new driveline and old dubs. Sweet car in any variation. Have fun

    Looks great!

    The old wheels looked like socks on a rooster.

    The Boyds actually look decent that particular car (not my style, but cool nonetheless), but the whole thing just comes together with the wide whites and wires. Great choice!

    Very nice. Looks like the wagon sister to my 56 before I painted it.
     
  22. I like it, big improvement. If it were my car, I would do Skylark wires. Probably the most beautiful wire ever made, plus your car is a Buick.
