OK some of you I'm sure have seen this before but maybe not. This 1966 Buick Wildcat has been chopped, the front pan rolled with the stock grill utilized, The rear quarters have been filled and chrome extended all the way back. The chassis is from a 1967 Impala S/M as are the inner wheel wells in the front, the floor is also from the Impala. The Paint is House of Color Snow White Pearl and a Pastel Blue Pearl Nail polish. The engine is the Nail-head from the kit with the Impalas induction system. Thanks for looking, Jerry      |

Very cool custom! I've always wanted to try something like that, but I would make a mess out of chopping the top! lol!
And since I tend to be a purist, I love the fact that you used the Buick engine.

Now I'll let you in on a little secret.
The chop was an experiment on a spare body, was going to build the Mystique by Barris if it would have worked, started doing front mods after the top was done.
Then found a resin body for the Mystique.
The rest is history
