It's April!  Any news if they are shipping...

[Loren At 65GS]

 I have not heard anything as of yet. Hang in there please.

When we started this project, I thought the most difficult part would be getting enough commitment to make it happen.  I've come to the conclusion that the wait is even more difficult and given the extended time it is taking even more so.

You're absolutely correct Loren, I feel like a little kid three days before Christmas.

Dear Black wedge, Loren, Kevin, and impatient mid-60s Buick owners,

Hey guys, time to chill out a little.

Working on classic cars has been definitely improved by the existence of the Internet, but nonetheless, the pace of projects related to classic cars remains stubbornly the same.  It is the nature of the beast, because in part, these parts have to fabricated in the old-fashioned way that they originally made in 1960s.  So we all need to cultivate our patience.  If you don't, owning a classic car will drive you crazy! 

Cheers, Edouard

No worries.  I'm chilled out.  Just inquiring on the latest status and looking forward to getting my dash pad..

[Turbonut85]

I don't think anyone is impatient in a negative way....everyone in this deal has a good amount of $$$ invested, and it's getting closer to the car season for those of us that live in the fridgid parts of the country. Telling people to chill out when they are inquiring about a project that they have 1) paid for in full ahead of time, 2) are inquiring around the projected timeline, and 3) haven't had much as far as communication from the vendor.....I feel is counterproductive. But that's my personal opinion. I would be inclined to say I am more excited...than impatient. Lol. Happy motoring to all! ;)

And a continued big thanks to Loren on this entire project.

Yep,
These things take awhile...not exactly "Free Falling" off the shelves,but "Even the Losers" get lucky sometimes and may think "I Need to Know",but I still think "You got Lucky" when this started because at the end of the day we're just "Runnin' Down a Dream" on our old "American Girl". "I Won't Back Down" even if I was told "Don't Come Around Here No More" because they will be nice.( I think I'm running out,but I'm sure there's more)...

I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious.  Everyone has been extremely patient.
