Chobis Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 It needs......... precisely nothing. Awesome score, and a damn fine choice, thanks to you for sharing this gorgeous piece of automotive history :cool: Yep I agree. My plans for it are..... precisely nothing. Maintain and enjoy. Lowering was a thought, but as it is it scrapes over speed humps due to the long wheel base, so it's not going down unless it cops some air-ride. Here's the requested pics. Keep in mind I'm a 6'4" tall fella, so this is a pretty damn large boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chobis Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 The Lac enjoyed it's first all USA car cruise on Saturday night. Somewhere between 300 and 400 cars in attendance I believe. Here's a few pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbott Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think the only thing I would do to this is maybe clean up the engine bay a little bit. make it look as perfectly brand new as the exterior. but that's being picky haha! don't lower it!

A '64 wouldn't be in that price range. '59's will be that and more. I paid an undisclosed sum :wink: I think the only thing I would do to this is maybe clean up the engine bay a little bit. make it look as perfectly brand new as the exterior. but that's being picky haha! don't lower it! Yeh might clean up the bay at some stage. Would prefer to spend that time cruising rather than cleaning though. :wink: The exterior looks better in photo's than it really is. It's the interior that is mind blowing. It shall not be lowered. Maybe someday a full custom Mexican re-duco and hydraulic suspension though. Hehe. "You can make babies on those seats...." <---------Wife's comment! Haha. No comment. Edited October 11, 2011 by Chobis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blktoy35 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) i vote full mexican style hydraulics on 13 inch dayton wire wheels lol jk the interior is like a couch love it ..... Edited October 12, 2011 by blktoy35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chobis Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Haha. That does look pretty nice! Maybe one day when I get bored of it, if that's ever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Oh man these things are BUILT for slammage. I had a '65 Belair and they are waaaaay too easy (read: temptingly easy) to drop on their guts. Also, there is nothing that looks more awesome than a car the size of a truck barrelling down the road 5cm off the deck. You'd want bags though. I couldn't afford them at the time, consequently the Bel was extremely limited in where it could be driven :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chobis Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just some new photo's from a recent day out. The Lac has been dormant for most of the last 12 months with some technical issues, however they have mostly been ironed out and now just looking forward to some rain free weather to get some cruising done.
