Re: 1967 buick special wagon

I bought some used 245/45zr17s for the front corvette rims. Here's how close they are to the strut versus the stock g8 wheels, and then a nice side shot.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon

I started making filler panels for the passenger side inner kick panel gaps. Then I connected the ground strap for the electronics on that side.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon

Then I started filling the outside gaps. I made a hole for the wiring for the door speaker and power window harness. Then I made a filler piece to strengthen that goes behind the front fender, with a hole for the mid fender turn signal wiring. I painted the back to prevent corrosion.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon

I filled in all the driver's side gaps, and welded the firewall piece in place

Re: 1967 buick special wagon

I filled in the antenna hole on the left front fender. I picked up an engine cover, and I set the front clip back on to see what my clearance issues might be. Looks like I'll have to raise the rear of the wagon a bit. Looks like it's loaded down the way it sits now.
