Had a little men's night/get together barbecue a couple days ago with about 10 of my buddies. A few of them hadn't been to my house and a couple didn't know about my addiction/collection. So while showing them the Riviera, I pulled up my build thread on here to show them the "before" pictures of when I got the car. I hadn't looked at the first few pages of it for a year or so.....Man, I can't believe how ugly some of it was! . Not good at all when I got it, she's come a long way especially in a couple places. Which got me thinking about making this thread: What's the one or two areas or parts of your car that have gotten the biggest improvement since you've gotten it? Body, interior, chassis, engine, brakes, etc? Mine is probably a tie between the trunk and engine compartment....show us your before and after pics. (and for Joe, here's the "trunk thread" )
Almost 2 year transformation but getting there! All new suspension/ tubular control arms, Jeep Cherokee steering box, sniper EFI system, electric fans, Wilwood calipers,a other goodies
Ahhhh yeah give me some time to dig up pics and post been busy Yeah Lucas the trunk thread is a bit late hahahha
Tells ya how long the resto took. We couldn't even get Yuengling here when we started working on the car!
Shawn , love the color and your set up! It inspired my build! Still need to track down some steel wheels
REALLY??? Back in 2011 I bought ol' Fuzzy Britches and transformed it into a 6 inch lowered (underslung) open wheel speedster. Aluminum pistons and a milled head; this one rolled out at 45 mph! Believe me, thats fast enough in a 1926 Model T. As finished, the "Pollinator" Special. ws
Pretty much all of it. She wasnt ugly when I got her, Just not my style but a perfect canvas to start with.
Thanks, if it inspired anyone to do anything to their Buick, I take that as a huge compliment and appreciate you letting me know!
