    Thanks!

    I needed that! My X girlfriend calls my red car "princess" :Dou:

    The green car is getting buffed and I should have a picture of the Super Wildcat engine with the air cleaner on soon...

    that is really soooooooooooooo awesome. I looked long and hard to find a nice 65 or 66 Wildcat Convertible before I bought my 71 GS Conv...my first car was a 67 Lesabre 4dr.

    You Know what they say about those Cats.

    They may not be the bigest, strongest, or fastest animal in the jungle, but they certainly are the Most Dangerous

    So true!

    I got snail mail pics of the green car last week-doors painted, buffed, installed. Lights and tail chome installed , rear bumper fitted up-its really looking great!

    Off to Wichita to see my Kid 4-Speed- mat is restoring a 64 Wildcat 4-speed coupe. He has roller rockers in his engine! Sweet.

    These two cars are absolutely stunning!
    Love to look at a job like yours...every nut, bolt, clip redone as factory or better.
    Love to see them both in person someday.
    This is probably a benchmark for others to follow!

    Had some pictures from my visit today but left my camera in a burger king somewhere in Champaign, IL. Anybody have a cure for forgetfulness?

    Amazing! I just called the Burger King and they have my camera! Good Job and Thank Burger King for finding it!!!! Wow. Waves of thanks to the good person at BK!!!!!!!

    Now I can sleep well tonight. I have to figure out something nice to send back to Decatur BK on Pogress rd. right off I-72. :beer :beer

    That is one beautiful car. You have done a very nice job. Seeing your car gives me encouragement on mine. The body is off right now and it seems like it will never get finished.
    Great job
