that sits higher than I like and begged for at least a nice set of pipes. As usual, I took it a bit further.

As found:

54 Buick Skylark CV

With a bit of bodywork and slightly lowered:

54 Buick Skylark CV   Mild Custom PSL (2)

A step further with the bodywork and repositioned pipes:

54 Buick Skylark CV   Mild Custom PSL (1)

With my usual courteous nod to you purists, do others of you like it better with or without photoediting?

Enjoy!

I like the ride height correction, the mods not so much.
