  Parts Wanted

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.

Niche - Britaine
