That pic is SICK!!!

Great job! I used to own a Grand National. Funny how the speedometer never matched what the car will do.

[Jaretr1]

As a kid growing up in the 80's, I loved those cars to! Dont see to many original GN's anymore.

[01GreyStangGT]

I wanted one of those as well as a Monte Carlo SS back in the day.

Gotta love those G-bodies ...GM's finest offering indeed.

Looks great
Love the lil LC2 engines!!

[Sicoupe]

Beautiful work I must say!

[Mike Phillips]

Nice work.

It's nice to see a well preserved Grand National.


While the large flat panels make these cars easy to buff out you do have to be mindful of all the raised body lines. It's one thing if you're careful when you do any machine compounding or machine poishing.

It's the guys that work on cars before you that you have to be worried about.

Thanks, all the body lines and tight areas were done by hand. I contemplated buying the appropriate pads but I only do these corrections once every year or so.

I can't wait to see how it looks in the sun.

Nice job and nice Buick!!

[Mad Wax]

Love that car!
