    Thanks !
    Im planning some pinstriping and maybe flake on the roof.
    Then i might lowering it even more.
     

  5. That is a sweet ride. I like it just as it is and wouldn't add too much more to it. Just remember, sometimes less is more. My two cents.

    bellflower exhaust would be cool and make the ass look a little lower. I personally wouldn't touch the paint I agree Less is More on a car that nice! Pin stripes maybe but flaked roof would be pretty extreme on that car...
    But what the hell...its your car!

    Either way very nice ride!

    Nice Buick - I've always liked the '58s. Any detailed pics of the suspension install?

    awesome 58! One of my favorite years. I wouldnt change much... after looking at it again and again... the bellflowers would make it appear lower... evening out the lower lines and such

    Some small pinstriping like this is what i would like, but the flake maybe can wait for now.
