You know, it's these little jewels that have made your build as amazing as it it. So many people get a grandiose idea. Only a very few ever begin it. Even fewer complete it and about 1% of those that are completed go to the lengths that you have with the fine details you have made. The transformation of your car is beyond explanation. I would not be surprised if your Buick Bijou Super ended up in a museum somewhere. My hat is off to you for the idea, the art talent to build it, and getting this HUGE project to the stage it is in.

lasater, Thank you so very much for your kind words of encouragement!!! I get mixed reviews... Some love it, some hate it, and some just scratch their heads. I don't tend to worry too much about what others think or whether they approve of the Bijou project... but when true car guys (such as yourself) give me props, it really resonates! And your skills and craftsmanship are absolutely top notch, which makes your compliments all the more meaningful to me... Thank you Sir!

Going to order some hub centric wheel spacers for the Bijou to push the wheels out to a position that better aligns with the flared fenders and rear quarters that resulted from my modifications. I think it will make the stance look far more muscular while still allowing me to use the full moons which are very much in keeping with the old school Buick lineage.
As always, any input from my comrades on here is greatly appreciated! :)

That's what I was thinking... And being hub centric is a must with the steelies.

Dang Ben, that ornament is awesome!

Sorry that my flight schedule and crazy personal life caused me to miss your latest updates.
