Not quite finished.... the before shots (DIRTY)!

Post by Bing »

Well, I've been around a little while, so after some harassment heres some shots of the Green Machine. :eek2:

Its dirty, has scratches all over, and it's not completely assembled yet but here you go.
Image

I removed the chrome strip around the car and I'll replace it with black when I find the closest match in size.
Image

I did end up painting the grill, its kind of a different look but I like it. You can also see the Buick mirrors, and how they look on the car. Also found some SSE black upper trim for around the doors and above the windshield.
Image

Image

I decided to paint the center of the tail lamp assembly a textured black, to tie it in with the grill. Just need to polish the tail lamp plastic and I'll install it.
Image

Still working on the interior, redoing the headliner, and I'm now leak free.

Those LeSabre mirrors look really good on it, huge improvement over stock.

You'll never be done working on it :P. I like the small custom touches to your car. Looks very clean.
