    Hi, my names Andy and I'm 14. I have been around here about a year mainly asking questions. I thought I should let you all know what I have been and am working on.

    I own a 1962 Buick Invicta Four Door Hard Top. It's Cameo Cream and Arctic White. It has the original 401 Nailhead and Dynaflow. It has a few rust spots but otherwise is in great shape.

    Currently, I'm working my butt off trying to get a ton of stuff done by the Back To The 50's car show here in MN next year. You may think that I have plenty of time to get it done but I won't be able to work much durring the winter. Garage isn't heated, not isulated, so basically it's about 10-30 degrees.

    I have to get one of the pipes of the exhaust sytem rebent as it has numerious leaks. I also have to fix one small leak on the pipe right after that. I need to have the rear wheels widened, painted, then balanced and mounted. I need to have the front wheels painted, then balanced and moutned. I need to POR 15 the hubs. I need to paint the studs, lugs, and drum fins black. I need to get a small can of Cameo Cream to touch up numerious areas that are chipped, and scratched. I need to cut the trailer hitch off. I need to get new door lock buttons as the originals are cracked and showing wear. I also need to get a set of gauges installed. It's overheated once, I'm not going to let it happen again.

    I have tons of stuff to do and my goal is to bring it to that car show. I will try to get some pics of it and post them in the next few days. Wish me luck!
