OK ok, so maybe off topic but I also have a hotrod and custom addiction. Actually if it has wheels, I love it. Anyway I have been working slowly on my '62 Buick Wildcat and finally got it ready for paint. It has white diamont tuck and roll interior, and is shaved, 'bagged, nosed, decked...... pretty much anything else you can imagine I have done to this car. After at least 4 spools of welding wire, a gallon of evercoat filler, and tons of long hours in the garage I am finally seeing really nice results. I just laid down the flaked roof tonight and it came out awesome!!! some pics are before I pulled it into the garage for the wintertime teardown, and I'll throw a pic of my Z in the mix so this post isnt entirely off topic!!!!

 

you should spend some of that time on the z...

 

HaHa, All my hotrod buddies say I should spend more time on the Buick!!!

Eh well, I dont want to go hacking into the Z too much until its paid off and it is my daily driver. I cant have it torn down in the garage..... just yet

 

Obviously your buddies don't know anything about Z's. Have them come on this site.....

 

My dad has a 63 Impala convertible, its a very nice car. I would never do what your doing to that car, but it should be cool when your done.

 

holy crap that car is siiiick. leave the flat paint as is. It looks perfect to me. BTW your Z does not reflect how you mod the Buick. Stock rims would look better, or at least lower that thing.

 

Oh yeah for sure. I just got the Z january 5th so I havent had much time (or money!) to do too much to it.... yet! The wheels were on it when I got it, theyre not bad, but theyre pretty ugly IMO. I figure I'll swap wheels when my tires wear out, no big rush. Thanks for the props on the Buick too, my car addiction spans all generations. I have had a '66 lincoln, '52 Plymouth, and before I bought the Buick I built a T roadster in my garage from the frame up.

 

And they would say the same about us

Nice looking car. Looks like a fun project. I am working on my 75F150/ranger. Make a nice DD.
