Here are pics of each of each side of the boot. I have nothing to compare it to, so if anyone has an original that they can take a pic of and post, that would be great.
A big THANKS! to Doug at the Buick Farm for seeing this project through.

Please leave comments/feedback/etc.

Mark, it looks good, most important thing is that it works well and keeps the dirt out and the grease in! I will try and take a pic of my original! Jon

I will be glad to do a fit check and "field test" on that prototype if you want to send it to me.  I have to pull the trans and replace the noisy clutch release bearing before the end of March, so I will be under there anyway.

I'm still in for 3 of the bellhousing boots (as I posted on V8)

My 66 GS buddy, Jimmy, is pursuing repo's of the upper console boot, and the non-console boot he won on eBay last week.  I believe he signed up here recently , maybe he'll post...

Anything new on this?   Just thinking if you are waiting for Matt -
I gave him a car 5 years ago and he has not picked it up yet...
I love to pick on him too.  Thanks!

Hey Guys sorry I have not touched base sooner!!
The Boots are on the way & have been Shipped!!
I will be away on Vacation to the Indy 500 & will return on Tuesday 6/1.
I expect to have them here waiting for me when I return!
I had a few slight sizing changes made which took a bit longer than expected.
