It HAS BEGUN!

What years were those hub caps available and on what, A1? Do you have a close up pic?

 

Hey Ian, I think this is so cool! Love thinkin' outside the box!

you are welcome to these, the originals off the CC

or call my man Marty the hubcap guy (954) 977-9748 tell him I told you to call

I paid $75 for this set of 4 with locks and key

He also just found me 5 wires for my 88

That donor car reminds me of the nice 92 (I think) Custom Cruiser that my sister left in a dirt lot during a bad storm and it sank.

Mom and Dad must be so proud. But I digress

 

ill be honest fox and jeff ill take any 15" olds metal or "metal look" hub cap as long as they arent spoke.

jeff $75 is a bit more than i want to spend for hubcaps. but thanks for the offer. the car is still a salt car (lets not forget) and has some major issues...just awaitin! its making this high pitched whistle now too... near the alternator and power steering pump (one is atop the other). so somethings gonna break! im finally getting the new rear springs it needs on friday. it still needs shocks too
but i gotta put some money into the buick... (new carpet for TiKi soon! )
this is just a fun "what if" now, if i had a nice caprice to do this project with ...id be looking for olds alloys and steering wheel maybe even a dash swap.

 

Ian $75 is what I paid for the wires. You are welcome to my old ones (pictured) for shipping charges only

 

lemmie know what shipping is ...if your sure, id appriciate it.

 

This is good, great idea:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Jeffery, I just have to tell you that your 1976 Custom Cruiser is ===SMOKIN' HOT===.

 

thanks, it's getting there. was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be, but it is getting there slowly but surely. It's my daily car, had been slubering for many years and now is out every day so sometimes stuff breaks but it is a blast.

 

Well, it just goes to show that vision, dedication and hard work really do pay off. (money helps too )

I remember my best friends parents had the Chevy Impala version clam shell wagon......1973 I believe. Just so cool looking.

 

My father pissed all of us off when he brought home a 73 Impala wagon after trading Mom's very very beloved 65 Country Sedan in.



We were livid (I was 14 or so) but we learned to love that old red chevy, carbon buildup, 9 mpg, no power 400 and all.

I took my driver's test in that (had to and still can parallel park those old boats)

 

jeez jeff, your olds's are awsome. all you need now is a cherry cutlass, omega,and a starfire (good luck finding one of those) and you have the whole lineup! i actually had an omega. a 1976 none the less! i wish i hadn't sold her when i bought Tiki, but i was frustrated with it (needed a drivers floor pan welded in and attention to the rear 1/4's).

 

thanks Ian, one of the worst mistakes I ever made was getting rid of this sweet 74 Salon:

 

thanks for the wheel covers jeff! you are the Man!

put them on to take the pic...
im gonna wait till spring and they fix the pot holes to leave them on, so i dont lose one.

 

That looks good Ian, plainer jane just looks dam good.
