Transformation of my 93' Buick Roadmaster

A little about myself, I have been doing paint and body work since I was 15. I opened my own shop almost 18 years ago. Did one car for myself long time ago but once it was done I got an offer I couldn't refuse and sold it so in my book this is the first car I ever did for myself. I started out with a nice clean 93 Buick Roadmaster with 175K on it. Runs great and get around 19 mpg around town and 21 highway.

The beginning:

I attacked the passengerside first,... it looked the worst, i'll let the pic's do the talking, but if you have any questions just ask.

 

Also drew out a couple of ideals to put on car:


So glad I decided against it:



I sanded my door handles to give it a bathroom faucet finish:

Bought a new grille because car was looking really nice:

Also decided to fill in the rear roof piece to eliminate the rear wiper:

 

I found these Buick Turbine wheels and decided to put them on after I got them finished. It took me 2 hours just to get one done. So I left the truck rallye's on for 2 months before changing them over to the turbines.

After:

Also did a nice classic Buick move and added port holes to my beast:


Quick peek of it before finishing the paint work:


Here it is finished and what it looked like for a few months:

The look it has now:

 

THAT is awesome! Very nice attention to detail. You must be proud. Now, don't sell it, eh?

 

Wow, awesome work, good job!

 

I have been admiring this Roadie for some time. I have saved pics of it and just drooled over it nonstop. I love the looks of the turbines, and searching locally for a set for myself. I would go white lettered on mine. I just never cared for whitewalls that much. White letters just give any car a more modern and meaner look and really sets the cars off.

Very, very nice car.

 

Thanks Guy's Blackfoot did you make Wagonfest this year?

 

BigDaddy, awesome, awesome job . That has to be one of the most beautiful Roadies I've ever seen. You must be freaking out about how nice it is. I'm sure it turns head wherever you take it. Phenomenal. They both look great and both have a distinctive look, but I'm thinking I prefer the wsw's and turbines.

 

No, I really wanted to and had planned on it. Did you make it out? We didn't have the roof job finished, so I did not have the money to make it. I was so bummed and still am bummed about it. Next year, I will make it a point to have money saved up and set aside just incase things are rough. I will be out with the 92, not sure if she will be painted up by then, but the motor mods will be all tuned and tweeked for sure.

 

Yes I made it out, go over to the "Introduce Yourself" and look at my "New 2 forum......" post, I put a few pix's of the fest over there.
