    Hey everyone,
    My name is Mike, I am 25 years old and I live in California. I just purchased my first buick about 7 months ago,it's a 1956 buick special 4 door sedan, with the posts between the front and rear doors.When I got the car the body was pretty straight on it, just needed a little tlc. It's got a set of Coker classic bi-sply white walls, and the original buick hub caps. The first thing I did when I had a little extra money was put airbags on the car, when the air is all the way out the frame is about an inch and a half off the ground, and when the bags are full its goes all the way back up to stock height. The next thing I did was shave the handles and removed most of the emblems as well. I left the port holes, ofcourse, and the airplane on the front, I also left all the stainless that goes down the sides of the car. I plan on painting the bottom black, and then the rest of it red, except for the top, that will be black too. Over the black on both the bottom and the top I'm going to have red metal flake over it. The latest thing done to the car is suicide rear doors, we are still cleaning it all up to make it look good. By everyone, mike
