------------------------------------------This is my "Dare to be Different" project.
.
---------------------------------------Buick did not build a Roadmaster Gran Sport...
.
-----------------------------------------------------------------So, I did.
.

-------Every system has been modified and improved....Everything.... Top to bottom, front to back.

-----The intent was to have the modifications look and perform like the factory did it... Only better.
.
---------------------The next BIG modification will be a STS / CIA Turbo System (see pg 17).
.
----I hope you enjoy looking at my RoadMonster. Everything I have done is documented right here.

-------If you have any questions or comments, please sign my guestbook. Thanks!..........-Stewart
