    I have no reason not to play by the rules. Sorry if my original post may have mislead anyone.

    I hope no one is expecting this to be a simple and quick paint and assembly. Its a little more than that as you can see from the photos and descriptions. I found more stuff I forgot I had. Below you will find a link to some new photos.

    I wish I didnt need to sell it. My intent was to build it to race in the PSMCDR, which Ive faithfully attended as a spectator since 2001. I know Im not alone here when I say its not easy to come to terms with aborting your restoration project because you need cash.

    As far as a selling price, I would accept the best offer over $10,500 (I hope that isnt against V8buick policy). All things considered, Im convinced that number would still be a solid win-win for both parties.

    Heres a link to a free photo-hosting site where I posted a bunch of new digital photos of my project stuff. I plan to take a ride to the storage unit and photograph more stuff when time allows.

    The guy I got the car from literally has a building full of GS parts and typically several GS cars for sale at any given time. Hes located a few towns over, outside of Seneca, IL. His passion is buying and selling them. I was planning to get whatever OEM stuff I needed from him. I know him to be a hell of a good guy, who you may want to contact about GS parts you are seeking regardless of whether or not you buy my project. His name is Fred Vaughn (GS Fred), and his cell number is 815-953-6118

    Heres a quick inventory list I made to begin the process of selling the stuff on eBay if I need to. Im really hoping to sell the stuff in one big lot to avoid the eBay BS.
