I'll have to say, the Torq thrusts do look better on there. ;)

Very few cast wheels look right on hot rods. That style looks good on almost anything that leans toward a performance build. For me the basic visuals are wheels/tires and stance. If that isn't right nothing else can fix it. Those look good on the Buick.

Photoshop is good fun. Here's a pic of my Buick when I had just bought it and gotten
it up on the trailer. And a first try to see how it might look lowered with a bit of rake and
a visor. Still very distinctly GM and looking good.
No need to chop the top, it looks good as it is, in my opinion.






Here's a more recent try at  making a sketch of what is to expect from my build.
Hoodless, 3 degrees of rake, slotmags that I had just acquired and a nailhead V12 
(would be awesome btw, pity Buick didn't make one).

It is tough to get modern wheels & tires in the right spot on the big old cars but if you don't place them right nothing else you do will make the car look good. Photoshop is a great tool for getting it right.

So true. sixball I'm hoping to get it right.
I did a lot of measuring and trying different placement of the rear wheels before lifting the body off the frame. At one point I was thinking about moving the whole rear wheel arch and fender forward about an inch or two, but in the end decided against it. After all that measuring, the rear axle landed where it is now. The result of this decision can be seen many moons from now...
