I will start. Here are a few progress pictures of my current Lead Sled Type 3 project.
and a PhotoShop of where it is going...
and finally a rendering that shows what I want it to become.
Lots more pics and build progress discussion here.

Here's my '72 Squareback.
'72 Vega front bumper, pre-70 Type 3 rear bumper,
'67 Mercedes low-back seats, Guide s-18 spotlights with
mirrors.
Terrible, faded purple paint with hand-painted flames
-soon to be repainted all black satin
and weird tail-lights that I made by grafting in '53 Ford
lenses...kind of for a '56 Ford Ranch wagon look.
FI, Automatic
Is it a rat? sort of....

To answer about my exhaust:I'm not sure what sort it is...looks custom made and was already on the car when I bought it 3 years ago; it sounds nice and low.
Where in Kitsap am I?:I'm in Bremerton, haven't seen you around either! Nice Buick, I have had a couple of 1960 Buicks in the past....gotta love nailheads.

thanks, but I don't get all the credit. I mostly bought it this way. I have made minor changes/additions. I want to get rid of the franken sunroof and put in a white ragtop. I almost hate to paint it. I should just seal it and leave it alone.

Too bad about the sunroof, it dates it as a mid-80's hack.
Here's mine, the black & red 71:

check page 4 in my gallery.
The Choptop belongs to an old Sherrif, he's not computer literate. It's usually at the Route 66 Rendevous.
The Mid engine car belongs to SuicideRN, he usually posts here, but I haven't seen him in awhile. He's also on www.volksrods.com, and has been to the Route 66 Rendevous as well.

what kind of exhaust do you have on your squareback i like it |
Holy crap! I thought I was the only one with that exhaust system! DAMMIT! In case you're wondering what it is (assuming it the same as mine) it's an Empi "tuck-away" beetle exhaust modified to fit on a bugpack header.
I cut the tailpipes short after the muffler and re-welded them back on at a 45 degree angle (roughly) so they exit out just outside the apron. Sounds BAD ASS and looks good too.
Oh, and cool car by the way!  |

Now that looks like it's got 4 wheel drive.  Reminds me of my old 70 Square though.
