Buick Sportsman

Had some rare free time this week, so thought I'd get a jump on the 2019 January Showdown.
(Assuming there will be one)
Didn't really have the time right now to build a complete new car, so I pulled down my 2015 Showdown entry.
It had a really complicated "cushioned" chassis that "sorta" worked, but the Scott's Racing Products
body made it kinda' CLUNKY.


I took the chassis apart & simplified it, but left the flex in it.


I smoothed the body, re-proportioned the nose & rear decklid,
opened up the side windows & lowered the body quite a bit.
Got rid of the stock bumpers & replaced with sturdier & more appropriate sportsman styles.
I rebuilt the interior & cage moving the driver rearward & lower.
Finished it with Ace Hardware white primer under Ace Hardware yellow enamel.
Homebrewed decals & a coat of furniture polish.
Left everything else the way it was in 2015.






Always wanted to use this sponsor. I'm greeted by these billboards all the way down Interstate 44
on every road trip to HRW. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

In astronomical circles they pronounce that 'your-anne-us' to keep the chuckling under control.
