Tuned in! What kind of power plant is going in?

I hope a 3.8 Turbo did!

So far the Buick and the Monte SS won 1st place in their class at the Birmingham, AL 2016 World of Wheels.

Great craftsmanship on both cars! Thanks for saving the Buick and keeping it all V6 Buick!!!!!

I changed the look a little. The car was not sitting low like I wanted with the 19" wheels, so I went to 18's.

Car looks incredible with the 18" rims! Great choice!

Working on the frame. Welding up seems, installed frame notch, reinforce frame, and some good chip resistant Eastwood frame paint.

Anyone know what side mirrors those are?

86-87 Monte Carlo / El Camino mirrors installed in the stock location. Some people weld up the original holes, and move them forward to allow the contour of the mirror to align with the windshield pillar a little better.

Thank you! When checking car-part.com, it is also showing 82-85 F body mirrors, are similar to the Monte?
