Walt,

I know Doug is a member here, I don't think he has posted yet.
Dan-all, I'm boxing up the boot to ship to Doug today.

It is a slow process; I saw Frank up at the Norwalk event and he had a couple
items he is sending to his rubber part producer.   Patience....

I have some very, very good news - this project is going to become a reality!
I just saw pics of the prototype, and if he says it's ok, I'll post them up here.

My car has been riding around without a boot ever since I finished restoring it, so I definitely need at least one for the car, and one for a spare. 
 Isn't this boot the same as on the Wildcat/Lesabre cars with a manual transmission and the nailhead engine?  If so, may want to advertise it on V8Buick.com for those guys too.
