    Hello this will be my first post here hopefully of many. First story of why i have my rig. My grandpa lived in kentucky and owned a restraunt called vicky burgers a drive in off the interstate. A customer of his was going through tuff ecomic times. My grandpa fed him for years he left my grandpa thought he died. Years later he brought him a new (less than 1,000) miles on it buick spollo painted my grandpas favorite color. Orange my grandpa wanted me to have it he passed 3 years ago and its been sitting in a field i finslly got the money to get it shipped here. 67,000 miles and alot of memories. I had to completely replace braking system. And radiator just popped abd is being fixed the engine is going to be fully rebuilt and painted his fav color orange. But i want to give it my own style. Its bright orange with pinstripping by a man named "hatton" but i think i want to paint it black with a orange stripe across the back and mabey the pinstripping redone. Also i will be making some custom door panels probably custom dash rear decklid and a nice trunk with memorial plate interior and reshaping. I do custom audio work so i got big plans for that interior. Anyway im looking for pics of black apollos because i want to makesure it dont look bad ill post a pic of the car soon thanks guys
