    Nice work! I have always loved CCW's on GN's.

    What's better than a Buick Grand National? A Buick Grand National sitting on a set of CCW wheels
    Great job with the paint correction on this beautiful classic. I would love to own this vehicle.

    Even better is a Grand National on stock wheels;

    Could you have used a glaze under a good sealant in lieu of cutting so much?

    Nice work on that GN!
    I have to agree with you on that.

    The body style of these cars REALLY grew on me over the years. I'm at the point where I want a black one.

    Can't argue with your opinion, but as someone who drove GN's for a few years, the stock steel wheels stunk, IMO. I could never understand why Buick chose a steel wheel for their performance flagship. Maybe it was because NASCAR cars had steelies.
    They were heavier than the T-Type alloy wheels, so a T-Type was just a little bit quicker and rode a little better. The wheels on the subject vehicle are reminiscent of the GNX wheels of the period, so IMO

    This is true. I still run the steel on mine.

    wow very nice, and with ttops at that! only thing i would've done different would be to just add a little more shine to that plastic front chin on the bottom. other than that, nice job!

    This is where something like Menzerna 2500 comes in very handy. Nice cut, great finish/gloss. As much as I love my Meguiar's polishes, I enjoy my Menzerna just as much.

    Nice job for sure! Love that car too!
