You're moving right along, I've gotten nothing done in the last two weeks. Have purchased several parts needed.
I find when you buy a bunch of parts, the build and use of those parts goes really fast.

Yeah the weather has been nice here, but it's about to change.
 I did get the headlights mounted up I really like the look of them. I believe they came from a 20 something cadillac? The 4th picture is with the park lights on.

cars like these are far too pretty to be on the road, too many people looking at them and not their cell phones

John,
I can't believe how far this car has come in such a short time.  I remember seeing it as a bunch of panels in your garage.  You've done a great job and it looks great!  You should be proud ;D

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Ghost that Buick is really sharp! You are going to be rock n roll ready by early spring. Very nice job man!

I got this rear view mirror from the speedway store, it's got a beveled edge glass and mounting almost like th original mirror parts that I had gotten with the Buick. It even fit the original holes in the windshield frame. Now I can see where I have been and maybe find my way home.
