    Sup peeps...

    I wanted to get some thought on the 62 buick in this pic
    [​IMG]

    Notice the parts i have circled in green. That trim line runs from the front all the way to the back in a nice solid curved line and leads right up to the rear bumper.

    The only body types that have this are on the 4 door sadans and the station wagons. VVV

    On 2 door and convertibles (special or skylark) that line takes a sharp turn upward right before the rear wheel well and ends right above the rear bumper such as in the pic bellow VV

    So my question is: how did the owner of that special in the first pic get that nice curved uninterrupted line on a 2 door? That car is considered to be a 62 buick.

    I'm not much of a fan for cars lowered that far in general, but man that is one sweet ride...chopped or not, it don't matter to me.

    do you all think that its a simple body panel swap? there must have been some sort of chopping even to get that version of the rear tail light.

    It is different from photo # 1 to photo # 21 .

    He must have really reworked that rear fender, heck he reworked the whole car.

    I really like the way it looks now, it looks better than the stock set up.

    Very Sweet Ride.............. :TU:

    yeah the car is awesome in the game.... even with all the mods it has, it still has that high roll in sharp turns like my 62 has :p
