Looks like that color would apply to just about any Buick from the '60s on up. What do ya'll think?

I fried the ignition module the other night when I was messing around with it. A new one from Jegs came today, along with new 8mm plug wires...so I'm back in business!

To do:

Torque convertor
Shift Kit
Governor recalibration
Hang guages
Buff paint
Detail undercarriage
Detail wheel wells

There's not much to do with the trunk and interior except vacuum <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

First cruise this Satuday night!! ....if it doesn't rain.

I took the car for a spin this evening after a quick wash. I stopped by the neighbors' house and shot a few photos.

I went to a local show today that I had attended last year. I took the 71 LeSabre last year and received a 3rd place trophy. I took the Centurion this year and got 2nd in my class. Bob Windal (70 GS 455) also took 2nd in his class.

It rained a LOT!! I also have a show tomorrow. Hopefully, it won't rain like it did today. As you can see in the photo, it was still raining when we left.
