    It looks just like the area around my home in Northwestern Ontario.
    A lot of Swedes settled here because of that, my grandfather being one of them.

    Was the camera set on black and white, or is it really that monochromatic? :kewlpics:

    The camera is actually not set on BW! The car looks like that. :) I did a couple of changes on lights, sharp, and so on thoug. I don't ever put a picture up, before it has been in photoshop for a few seconds! :camera:

    haha I was really just kidding, you can see the red badge, but if it wasn't for that you'd think these were taken with an old film camera. :cool: It's not just the car, it's the light, the trees, the snow the sky.

    Sooo.. This weekend we had the car at a "show", the first... Even though it just was a school community kind of thing it was cool to exhibit the winters work in the sun.. I have experienced a nasty vibration in the prop shaft, but the engine, and trans works just great!!

    I guess its time for some more updates, but for this morning, it will just have to do... We are moving to the li´ll mrs,s farm in the south in about a week now, so i guess the time for chitchat will be a little limited..,

    See you soon guys and gals!

    Hiya, 2low!:tiphat: Finally get off the winter couch? Mrs 2low has been here this Spring and we have been asking about you. We did see one pic of you sleeping on the couch. Is hibernation over now?:biglaugh: All kidding aside....great to see you back again, 2low. Great to see that Buick again too. It's not easy moving so we will give you a break from the forum during that time, but....we all hope that there will be computer service at your new place so you can continue to be a part of our wagon family. We love all the pix of the lowlow show!(y)
    Keep us posted during your move.:yup: And after.:yup:

    Buick looks great in the sun. Did you lower it some more? Anyway, thanks for the update and good luck at the new place. The lowlows rule! And I love the Nash bomb, too!

    :cheers:

    Time for a update, huh?

    The roadtest for the mighty one was about 500 miles, and i am sooo pleased with the tbi injection, the od-trans and the airride! I have a smooth, low ride at a acceptable fuel consumption with all the power i will need! The only grit in my bucket of joy is a irritable vibration that i just cant figure out how to get rid of.. This makes the sound level inside the car a bit too high, but the DLS-sound system and Mike Ness records is a good help to cover the noise..

    As i mentioned (?) erlier in the thread, most of the chrome trim was missing on the car, but i have found almost all of the missing pieces exept the ones around the door edges.. So what do i do?? Of course there is a alternate way in the hardwarestore.. A roll of aluminum-like-selfadhesive-tape, a razor and some water in a spraybottle gave this result!

    Did i mentioned that the front end have got some new bushings, a heavy duty sway bar, new joints, shocks and cut down coils? I really like the stance now!!

    A pinstriper friend of mine came by and did his thing on the front fender, Social Distortion influenced of course..

    Lookin' GOOD, 2low!(y) Is that "vibration" in the drive line? Have you changed the exhaust system at all? What else have you done to the suspension besides the sway bar and lower coils in the front? Is it a vibration that you can FEEL or just a hum that you can HEAR?
