Dear Loren and mid-60 Buick "sensitive" types,

Thanks Loren for being a greater diplomat than often see in government these days.  Thanks guys for working this out.  In a way it says a lot about all of us.  What it boils down to is that we really care about our cars and want the best for them!  :love4:

That's the spirit guys!  :icon_thumright:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Sending in core today. Didn't know this project was started by Wheels way back when!

Thanks Loren for getting it to the finish line!

Sending my core today by FedEx.  Also etched my name in the metal, since it's in extremely nice condition.  One advantage of an air conditioned Skylark sedan parts car.

This will be a very nice core in the pad that one of us gets.  This could be fun....kind of like the lottery :-)

Thanks Loren!

Thanks to All,

  I've been out of town for almost a week, as some of you figured out.
Anyways, if I missed acknowledging receiving your payment, I apologize.  With that said, all payments are in and I thank everyone . 

Now we are on the hurry up and wait cycle. lol

I have seen that the dashpad.pdf was downloaded 48 times.
Do you know how many pads are actually being done??

Jim,

 There is a total of 15 members that are in presently.
Have no idea why it would be downloaded so many times.

I, for one, downloaded it twice not remembering that I had done it the first time.  That's one extra.....

I can account for one additional down load, I misplaced the first one. It might be with my 1/4" socket or the AC compressor bracket I haven't been able to find.
Of all the things I've misplaced, I miss my memory the most.
