Started back in sometime back in '99 , (I think). This is one of those spare parts builds. I was wanting to build a model of the Mystique Buick by Barris. Which has a chopped top. So I pulled this 66 Buick Wildcat body from the parts and commenced chopping, if it worked great, if not , oh well. It worked But then found a resin on ebay and bid and won, Yeah baby! So what do I do with this body that I had chopped? Hmmmm, build a custom with it what else. Somewhere I got a incomplete '67 Chevy Impala which was missing the engine and wheels. Perfect candidate for this build, but the wheelbase is too short for the Buick body, stretched it to fit. I used the floor as well I carefully removed the floor from the Buick ans placed the remainder of the tub on the Chevy floor-pan. I painted the body in H.O.K. (House of Kolor) Snow white pearl, and the misses kicked in the Pastel Blue pearl nail polish. Ok here's the pics. The car I wanted to build originally. What I did. The stretched Chevy chassis the interior The Buick engine w/the Chevy induction The rest of the car Thank you for your interest. Jerry

Such a cool paint job! Great custom! Not outrageous, like some of the radical stuff out there! I'd like to have a cruiser like this in my driveway!! Well done, sir!!

Thank you, When I build a custom I have a thought/question, "Would I drive this and would I be comfy while I do?". Once that is defined its full steam ahead!

That's a great philosophy to have for a custom car! And you nailed it with this one!
