81 BUICK

[LS DAVE]

took the scabby to vanfest on sunday (very wet). my mate puts this show on and got me in and on the show field (swamp) for nothing!

best bit was he got his and my new best  friend neil melliard to do a demo on me truck!

[chewy]

im loving a bit of pin stripe cool as fook

[ant]

that looks   ... was catboy after a quality pinstriper???

[catboy]

thanks ant; i was but found one just around the corner from my house weirdly enough..  A guy called Kris (or PUK) who runs the pinstripinguk website did it for me...   pics to follow when its not raining  

the truck looks awesome

Those pinstripes are the law. Mr Melliard seems to be the man. Been thinking for ages I might have a bit done on the boot of the six-four. If anyone's seen the inside sleeve of ZZ Top's Eliminator then they'll know what I mean.

Good work with the Veedubs Dave. Small light golfs are naughty. [/i]

[Six-Four]

Dave, tell me that your Buick LS is back on the road!

[pete]

'tha bank'

its my mates garage in crewe where we piss about with motors. when he's not running an established garage doing mot's, services and repairs we're building and repairing lows for people who've got no-where else to go, we're not brilliant and we dont claim to be, but we know the basics and intend to do our best and get better, so far we've...

built and re-built my single then double pump 190e (better but not great!)
slowy made progress bagging jamie rays old 420se (gonna be awesome, and super clean!)
re-worked the install in jazza's then bens regal (hops real well on simple kit)
completely scratch built, then broke and re-built lee's 64 bel-air (hopping around 28" on street kit at 48v!!!)
started my single pump regal project (for next years hop-off at bug jam... fingers crossed!)

we supply and re-fit replacement batteries for tired installs, along with re-sealing rams and fully servicing pumps with new rubbers and fluid, we'll do pretty much anything to help get lows on the road and we'll hook people in the scene up with simple fixes for fuck all, no profit!

hopefully one day we'll be good enough to trade properly, but for now think of us as a lowrider charity yo!

[Six-Four]

That's bloody brilliant Pete. Why have I not heard of this or seen these cars? Am I blind? I'd like to see the '64 Belair and the red Regal.

[pete]

red regal!? its blue!!! no offence to iain and the dudes on this forum but most of my news goes on in the tru-rydaz forum, its a shame but its not the same as it used to be in here, so i very rarely post what ive been upto, plus we dont really shout about it that much, cos like i said we're not the best, just an option if you need it.

ill see if i can root out some pics and vids

[voicey]

Sorry to report after many years of sufferring daves Lesabre is no more....well it lives on in my buick and the pile of spares in my garage. shame really but it had been neglected too long and i really needed parts

[ant]

its sad story, but at least you got some usable parts
