1968 Buick Electra custom

I know this isn't everyones cup of tea, but I thought I'd post. We will be finished in a couple weeks, and I will post pictures of the trim installed and interior in.

That is pretty slick! I wonder how it would look with about 2 inches channeled from the body, and another 2 inches chopped from the roof.o No:

 

It's channeled now, and wont go any lower. I don't think I'd like the top chopped, and even if I did there wouldn't be any head room. You can see how we had to do the floors to save as much room as possible and it barely has enough space to be comfortable.

thanks for the kind words. I was approved for a sema booth, but I dont care to mess with all of that. Im going to take it to goodguys here in dallas in oct though.

I think it looks awesome with the channeled body and un-chopped roof. Can't wait for more pics.

 

Thats sick. Perfect example of tastefully done.

 

:shock: OMG that looks brilliant!!!
So smooth!

 

D'oh, I did not see that.ou: Anyway, I like it a lot, very nicely done.

 

A lot of work has went into this car, media blasted, powdercoated frame, wilwoods all the way around, we're putting a set of 62 Dodge Furry seats in the front so dont be too mad at us for that lol.

Only thing I need now is a super nice electra emblem for the trunk, the one I had sent out to plating came back with too many pits. So if you guys know of one that is super nice please let me know.

 

Reviving this thread as I am the new owner of this machine. Will post pics soon

 

Pulled the motor and trans as it needed to be all disassembled and cleaned. Bought the car last year from my good friend who owned the car since 2013ish. Car caught fire to the engine bay when my buddy had it due to a leaking fuel rail feed line and she sat for about two years. Now im the owner and getting her all back together.

 

Beautiful custom! I can’t help but think the fire was the old gal rejecting that chevy organ transplant though. Her blood type is BBB.

Repairing the firewall

 

First coat of primer

 

Turned out good. Time to put the motor and trans back in

 

New wheels and tires

 

Sweet looking ride. I thought I seen intercoolers in the front grill is she getting twin turbos?

 

Just a single turbo setup. The two intercoolers are there so I could keep the hood latch

 

Ahhh I see. Cool none the less. Keep the build thread going with lots of pics.

 

New trunk air ride setup done. Just need to mount the battery and battery box.
