Thanks EmTee , yes I can't wait to see the painted Buick ! . I went to see the garage on Friday that is going to paint the buick, and they almost finished an 80's BMW and they almost finished a very nice 90's Dodge Viper too . Normally they will finish the BMW and the dodge this week and the next, and then I'll take the Buick . I'll put pictures when she gets there 3 Link to post Share on other sites
