Stan, it's interesting that you brought this post back up, I went back and revisited our Buick post/ history and amazed myself with how much we got done in a short time span. You went to the nut and bolt stage, while we did the drivetrain and paint route. I have to say the fact that we were both driving them last summer was amazing.

Any updates on your choice for interior colors?

The choice has been made; white it is.  It will have to wait until next year though as engine and trans changes are coming first.  U can't leave well enough alone...  stirpot

Engine!   I knew about the trany but what's happening with the engine? Or did I miss something 30 or 40 post back?

Well... one of our members (he who shall remain nameless razz) made me an offer I can't refuse to build up a nice crate 350 with some vortec heads, a good cam, and it should make a nice little street small block in the 375 hp/380+ ft. lbs range.

I'll be posting the 350 motor that's in the car for sale soon on the forum as a turnkey setup, and then CL if no bites.  Other than a little blue smoke on startup (exhaust valve seals = cheap fix), it runs like a clock.  I just want a little more ooomph when leaving the stoplights.  gearbanger

Stan, Stan I recognize the symptoms, you have to much free time, probably those long flights returning home from foreign lands when you have to much time to think these things up.
