455 out of a riv is going in the buick. if you watched the episode,did you see the orange and pewter 2 tone paint?

by Roadcaptain S3 Sat Feb 27, 2010 2:40 pm

I like it already.Looks like fat wheels and a little lowering too.
Acted like they were surprised that the "haters came out of the woodwork"
Really?
Gonna be fun to watch. Those guys are good designers, especially the "arsonist". I like the plan.

by bigredlaguna Sat Feb 27, 2010 2:41 pm

I saw it. I like the lines of the paint job, but I would have picked different colors. It will still look really good and bring people around to consider these years for their custom project.

I can't wait till they get to the suspension and expose the truth about how great this generation is.

by JB2wheeler Sat Feb 27, 2010 5:55 pm

I did not like the orange and gray color combo, it would look better the same color it is now combined with a darker version of that color. Huge cars like that one do not look good with bright colors, especial;ly a classy car like a Buick. I used to not like red on G3s until I saw one of the members here who had one. I am planning on painting my 78 Elky two tone black and bright red with just a touch of orange to it. Of course by next summer when I plan on doing it I might change my mind on colors. JB

Well, I think you guys know what I think about ORANGE & SILVER! I love it BUT Dammit dammit dammmit! That's too close to my idea! Back to the drawing board Rago........(literally).

Glad they are doing this project on a budget. When you think about it, $10,000 including purchase price really IS a budget build. I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to watch this build since they seem to be keeping things general knowledge that can be applied to other vehicles.

by JB2wheeler Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:27 pm

I like sliver & Maroon or silver & black or silver & darker grey metalic, but not orange and grey. Aint it a good thing that everybody does not think exactly alike? JB

by The Dude Sun Feb 28, 2010 8:57 pm

Two tone silver would look more appropriate on a Buick. Personally I would stick with the original color on that one anyways & just do a respray. That's a nice tone for the car. Normally I don't care for the Magnum style wheels either, but they don't look all that bad if they would go with some 17's & lower it some.

And yes it's a very good thing we don't all think alike or there wouldn't be variety at all. Smile
