You're in Blooming Prairie, right? How big is your powder coating oven?

Sorry to hijack your thread. I'm looking forward to seeing your car next month. :thumbsup:

Cool car Jason. I used to have a Midnight Blue '66 SportWagon with the "vista" windows. Sweet rendering you did there. Post some pics when completed.

Thanks for posting the artwork, Jody!

Greg's a great customer and a powdercoater who is also a serious enthusiast! If you need anything coated and anywhere near him, he's your guy!

Everyone should see this wagon. It is seriously decked out with a lot of subtle custom touches. Hope you make it to Columbus, Greg!

It's a period correct color called brittany blue (ice blue) very close to the stock color. Hey , would of rather built a chevelle but it was a buy it now on e-bay for $2500 with 18 and 20 Intros on it with magna flow exhaust and a 455 in it with a turbo 400 . It was a great start to the project. And like Jason says Not many 67 Buick wagons at Good-Guys events.

Well we will see , I would love to bring it to Texas for the Lone Star Nationals.
Maybe I can park it next to one of Stoked Out Specalties Buicks ? About the Budnik Gassers , we had them so we used em. Trick wheels easy to keep clean. The 62 Bubble Top will have Rushforth wheels on it. Thanks guys for all the nice comments we used this project to test and promote powdercoating. So far it has done it's job and we will also test new coatings on it in the future.

Ha! Thanks for the plug but I do draw client's cars with other brands and I drew that car up for Greg way before I started my brand. I'm just stoked to see it about to hit the streets and can't wait to see how it does at GoodGuys. I think you're going to need that cargo area for trophies!

That is one of the coolest wagons around and one of the baddest Buick street machines ever. How pretty are the lines on that car?!?!

Have a great weekend, Greg! Congratulations!

Wow! The door panels look great! And the seats turned out with a real comfortable look. It sits right, and the air cleaner and vale covers are killer! Wish I was going to Indy Buddy, I know a few places there.:cheers:

By the way who did the interior?

06-05-2008, 08:15 PM
The detail is remarkable!
Is it just me or does that color just not quite seem to fit that car!
Now mind you its a fantastic build but the colors and paint designs just dont feel right for that car! That and the 4 drive belts all together seem to be a little much. but hats off nice see something different for a change:thumbsup:

I Think There are no other colors that would work better on this car
Many thanks to Rushforth Design
The Car is Killer
The Motor Has a double V belt drive and a polished billet pully set
Maybe he could back off on the wax
nobody I know would use 4 v belts look at the pics again
do you have any other complaints ?

Ya really gotta see this car in person. The color comes alive in the sun. It looks like a stock color with a little something more to get your attention. Just another part of the great detail through out the whole wagon. :yes: The detail is remarkable!
