When I first saw this car I knew I had to have it. And in my mind I had it finished in just a few days.
I hunted through the internet for anything that was remotely close to what I wanted.
As a stickler for not copying other peoples work, I had a hard time finding something that was different.
Well I found it! A company called Strange Motion did a project called "Specialmint".
The concept of this Buick was pretty close to what I wanted. Like I said before I don't like copying others peoples work, so the pictures that follow
car only give a rough idea of what I want to create.

ENGINE
This is where I have to stray from the Buick line. I will be using a "472 CI
Cadillac" out of an early 70's Caddy. It will be fitted with twin turbos, and
Fuel Injection System. I will expand on this section as I get through the
rebuilding.
TRANSMISSION
1992 2WD 4L80e
SUSPENSION / FRAME
WHEELS
As any custom car builder knows that the wheels make or break the car. I have come up with a few ideas that I like.
