Looks good, but is that the color? Any door handles?
After finishing the Buick I took it up to show Lou, the original owner and he wanted to buy it back so I sold it to him for just what I had invested in it with nothing for my time. I'm not rich but if I had charged him more I would have just had to pay it all to Uncle Sam.
Another summer without a convertible. I have started work on the car I bought for parts for the GS so that will keedp me busy for a while. Here is a picture of the car and as always for those who have an interest I will post a complete picture history on my flicker site;

Thanks for all the compliments. The color of the 1965 Wildcat is called Frost Green and was a 1965 Chevrolet Nova color according to the person I purchased the car from. The door handles were "shaved" and they did a real nice job so I will just add electric door openers with a remote control. I would put the door handles back on but the door was cut out inthe handle area and a metal plate welded in so it would take new doors to return to stock. The same with the color, I would like a stock Buick finish but what's done is done.
