Smartin Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 I wish I could show you...gotta wait until after MCACN 2021! It's killing me not posting photos or video of it running. UGH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't use a circuit breaker for that? https://www.opgi.com/ignition-electrical/computers-chips-programmers/1961-72-power-accessory-circuit-breaker/circuit-breaker-power-accessory-1972-78-40-amp-fuse-block-mount-c241033.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastienbuick Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hello, any news from your Buick GS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Unfortunately, I can't post photos of the car until the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is over in November. It is going to be unveiled at the show as seen for the first time publicly. If I show it anywhere else before then, I will not be allowed to bring the car. The car is almost finished. It only needs a rear bumper, front turn signal lights, and a couple other small loose ends need to be completed. This paint color with a white convertible top and pearl white interior is GORGEOUS. Truly a stunning car. I can't wait to show it in November! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38Buick 80C Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 for what its worth this build thread: https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/for-the-love-for-my-father-my-69-gtx-restoration.127388/ was for a car that debuted at the MCN so you can see what he did and did not post ahead of the debut. Not Buick but a spectacular and meticulous restoration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Man that was a long thread. When I got to the spot where the front sheet metal was going on with this 70, I was specifically instructed to STOP posting photos. So I did😀 I will keep it that way, too. Just until the show is over...or maybe I'll do a live stream of the unveiling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
