    Some time back, there was a HAMB'er with a nice '60 Chevy ('60 Merc grille, etc.), who proposed to splice '61 Pontiac body lines into his quarter panels. I thought it to be a great idea!
    But Alas, it dropped off the radar (like so many others).

    Beautiful!!... Love the top of the windshield. finished glass. What's going on with the tops of the doors? Looks like they weren't decided on how to finish those.

    I wonder if the owner was attempting a padded exteripr door top, as was done on the '58 Packard Hawk...

    Straykat, you're hitting it out of the park this morning with all that great late GM iron. '59, '60
    and '61 Buicks? You're killin' me!

    To my mind, the '60 Buick is perhaps the most nearly perfect "Kustom" design ever to roll off the assembly line.
    Every detail is spot on, and those sculpted body panels are just too much!

    Really hard to improve upon, as the above example shows....Stance, paint, some badge removal, and DONE! :cool:

    Thanks @straykatkustoms for introducing some of us to Dan Palatnik’s work. What a talent! These contributions from you and others is what will keep the H.A.M.B. A CUT ABOVE. So much to learn and appreciate, so little time to take it all in.

    Visual overload on this thread guys...
    OG lil E post #8062 slays me. I’ve seen a lot of cars but never that one. I can’t begin to imagine what it took to build it. Thanks man.
    Incredible.

    The Buick is one of Voodoo Larry builds. Love the 56 Chevy rear fender wells.
