nasty NASTY *NASTY* ride ya got there......

My new FAVORITE Buick - mine included.

All she needs is 325s if you have Junior notch that frame.....
Thanks "gumbo" for the nice comments! I picked up the car last Saturday and yes it's got a "nasty", almost intimidating sound...
I'll be back at Jack's shop sometime next spring for a little fine tuning and to fix a few little "bugs" that are almost inevitable after some big modifications.
Now that winter is coming, it'll be time for some (actually A LOT !) powdercoating, ceramic coating, chrome, more detailing, etc...

See 'ya!

Claude.

With the help of my son, I removed a bunch of parts to send them either ceramic coated (mostly exhaust parts) or chromed...
well, the T/A stainless steel headers as well as the 4" downpipe Brian made are back from the ceramic coating and look simply g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s !! (see pics below). I'll post more pictures when everything (ceramic coated & chromed parts) is back on the car...

see 'ya!

Claude.

Are you kidding me...... Joey race that car... not today Angel. He just took a ride up to go for a cruise. He's not ready for the track yet, but he has put some serious miles on that thing... driving back and forth from NYC..

Here are some pics of my engine with all the ceramic coating and chrome done...I even had the grooves between the ribs on the fuel rails powdercoated candy red to match the turbo housing and the fuel pressure regulator...Now that it's nice, let's just hope it'll RUN!...
