    Parts place parts more correct for a 69 GS. Parts are looking great, can't wait to see the car complete. It's worth all the pain and suffering.

    HI Alain

    Having had the pleasure of seeing your Olds 442s over the years and the nice job you did on the 70 GS, coupled with the work you are doing now, the highest praise I could give would be to say that I would not hesitate to have you do my car when the time comes. You do nice work.

    Cheers
    Randy

    Thanks for the vote of confidence I try the best I can with the knowledge I have at time of restoration.Maybe one day will do your 1972 GS 455.
    PS did you see the 1970 Burgundy mist W31 White interior 4 speed looked nice:D

    Hi Alain

    Sadly, I cannot say that I saw it. But, I have not been out much with the Buick in the past few years. But, I am looking forward to seeing the Stage 1 when done.

    Cheers
