    Wheatie! He was a Wildcat that guarded the garage. Named as he jumped off a wheat truck at work, scrawny little dude needed to eat his wheaties!

    Wheatie was unusually interested in this car when it arrived.
    He knew there were a couple kittens living in the quarter panel - in front of the wheel well.

    Car looks great! We had a cat my friends called Buick because she was a wildcat. She would always do figure 8’s around your feet, was a very good cat.

    Had the GS350 out this week. I did a pretty good job on the engine, running great.
    I will eventually need a core support and front bumper.

    Daves69 Too many cars too work on

    Don't forget third rule. No trees growing out of the roof or hood.

    Great looking car Ted.

    Car sat for 41 years. Probably did have a tree growing out of the engine bay at some point.

    My inglorious work landscape! Now I will have to drive again this week to rectify this situation. I was standing next to our dumpster when I took the shot

    Or Jeeps! Glad to see the 350 three gear is roaming around again. Do you find yourself wanting to find fourth? Wheatie would be proud.

    First is the trick on this one- MUST NOT PUT IN REVERSE in in my head at every light!
