    Please forgive my obvious bragging, but I thought I would post this over here as the outside won't change much for a long time. A few more trim parts to install and I need to put my original Mirrors on. But I wanted to see another picture of a red GS on here.
    Thanks :beer

    Rick, what tires are you running on the rear.
    How did you get your rear end to sit high like that.
    Thanks

    Thanks guys! :beer It's been a year since my son and I started on this car and it finally looks good. It's far from perfect so there's no time to rest yet.

    Tim, those are 325/50-15's on 15x10's.
    a la Phil Sedlon's 70 convertible.

    The back end came up by itself when I put the bigger tires on.

    Thanks Derek, I had a ton of questions on those tires
    :spank: when it was all said and done I had spent near $800 and bugged poor Phil to death. I've also found out that my rearend is not exactly centered, But I've always wanted fatter rubber back there. I'd love to get to some Buick events ASAP.

    Awesome car Rick!!!! :TU: :TU: Those tires really fill up the wheel wells. I swear, the biggest wheel well ever made came on a 70-72 skylark. You can put huge wheels and tires on these cars, and still have room!! (not much but some) Were you able to use the door panels yet? Was you car a 3-speed on the column or floor? Kevin
