    Hello fellow Buick fans! What little I have checked here looks great. Guess I will have to check out the BFG site also. I have two Buicks, my first car a 69 Stage1 manual 4 speed and a 77 Skyhawk. Sad but true they do not run. The Stage1 was last running in 86, not in bad shape but missing some original parts (heads cracked, carb and distributor). It was my first car and I will restore it someday. The Skyhawk is close, sbc 400 (corporate engine) Moser 12 bolt rear, 8 point roll bar..... The Stage1 has the consolette with tach, tilt wheel, white interior, map light & 3:64 rear gear. Found the build sheet in the dash. My chrome needs done and I need that front grill :mad: I have three (broken) that I could possibly make one good, just wish you could buy one for a resonable price. That is about it, not much will change with my Stage1 till the Skyhawk gets finished. Time, money all the usual stuff. Sure like the rides I see here. Brian

    hehe...thanks:eek: That's not real though. I had a little too much fun with photoshop one night and that's what came out of it. Looks real enough though:bglasses:

    You had me Adam! I thought it was for real. It just blows me away how many threads are on V8Buick.com. I could spend a week on here and not see it all. When I first looked at your picture I thought wow that guy has to have a killer roll cage in his car! To much. Guess I'll have to post a picture of mine, I see a few under construction on here.

    Brian, if you haven't noticed, pictures are always enjoyed on this site!:TU: I see that you are pretty new to the board. Take some time to go up to the User CP link at the top of the board and then Edit Profile . This way you can change your signature (to include your name and car so you don't have to write it every time) and you can also work on getting an Avatar under your name. If you need a picture resized to work for that just hollar at me, Smartin, or David Gramlow and any one of us can help set you up. :TU:

    Yeah, Chris is right. If nobody here has complained about the number of pics I post, you can't go wrong posting a few dozen of your cars!:TU: Very cool first car! Mine was an Escort GT, 4 speed, sunroof.... but still, an Escort

    Always wondered if the 1X at the top left was for Stage1? Brian
