Good catch Jim, I must have grabbed the 65 grill emblem instead of the 66 after I painted the grill and headlights. Will get the other one painted and put it on. It took about 2 hours to mask the headlights bezels and grill, and another hour to mask the hood inserts.

Not sure if I will get it completed for the NATs in July. To many other units to work on and drive and may do other things this summer, so I do not get burnt out on cars.

My painter is my good friend Rob Holmes, he lives in CB Iowa and does home repair and some car things. He is in the middle of a 57 Olds Festa wagon restoration. He only charges $5.00 more per hour when I help. This is just a driver quality restoration, nice paint. All the trim is original and not re-chromed, some hand polished and some sent to get polished. Only re-chrome so far is the bumpers.

Thanks for the kind words.
