PROJECT "LAID BACK" - 1978 CENTURY 2 DOOR AEROBACK

[JAMCAR223]

So we have a few on board for Gunmetal / Grey trim. I can dig it!

If you really want to make people scratch their heads, maybe someting like these. A little "out there", I know.

I'm thinking something a little more modern, Lol! Keep the ideas coming. I appreciate it.

I don't know if I'll be updating this thread weekly, but here is week #1 update.
Most of you know what these parts look like, so I won't spend the time or waste the space on the forum. So I got in the attic and raided my parts stash, went to the Junkyard for the first time in months, contacted some forum members, and searched on Ebay. Here's what I came up with...

1- Pass, side rear tail light - Ebay
2- Bucket seat tracks ( manual ) - GbodyForum ( O. D. Showtime ) - Thanks Kevin!
3- GN front seat belts - my stash
4- Monte Carlo firewall to core support braces - my stash
5- Digital compass & temperature rear view mirror - my stash
6- Pass. side front bumper filler ( N.O.S. ) - Ebay
7- Upper rear sail panels Dr. & Pass. side ( hard to find! ) - Turbo Buick forum
8- 1994 Camaro front bucket seats ( very nice for 25 years old - from a convertible, and missing a door! - couldn't believe it... $38) - Junkyard
9- B pillar / Rear sail panel "caps" Dr. & Pass. side - Turbo Buick forum
10- Rear sail panel inserts ( I will recover these with the material from the Camaro rear seats, as I removed the material at the junkyard ) - my stash
11- 2008 Grand Prix center console - my stash
12- GP front frame brace - my stash
13- Hotchkis front sway bar - my stash

In the pic of the seats... the waves in the material on the bottom seat cushions are not there. That must be a optical illusion from the camera lens. I may recover the seats along with the stock rear seat, so they match OR I may keep the silver / charcoal color, and go rear seat delete...

As usual.. your questions, comments, and ideas are appreciated. James-

Ah I was hoping it had a 307 in it I would have bought some parts off it

Beings it has a Buick six in it. Stage2 engine with twin turbos. Backhalf the frame with Prostreet tires. I think one of those buttless cars would look awesome with huge rear tires! Tuned in for this one.

Love the project title!

I thought the same thing. I had thoughts of at least tubbing it, and going with 22 x 14" wheels ( not drag style ), and a lowered stance. It would look rad. Now you know how much a Stage 2 with twins would cost, right?? That's out of my budget. Wanna start a go fund me page?? 😀😀.
