Hi bobbybuick & Edouard and everyone else following my adventure. I looked at the video that Bobby posted and it shows a manual trans/ black interior and a real cool 8Track player & sound system, real nice ! I'm not up to that part of my GS yet, but when I do I will post photos of my additions to my dash.
I've been busy the last few days getting Two of my Children ready for there trip to College, so not not a great amount of work done on the GS but
"Slow And Steady" seems to be the best way to get work done for me. Yesterday afternoon ( my Son Steven) & I were able to get the headlights & grille in, also re-attach the outer bezel to the headlight bezel since the two were separated before the chrome plating process. Self tapping screws were used along with a tiny bit of body panel bonding epoxy to hold the parts together. This afternoon we were back working on assembling the front bumper and signal lights. Tomorrow the GS will have its face back on and look like the great Buick Muscle car that it is, but there is plenty more work to do..
Since I have been spending many hours working on the GS I kind of forgot other stuff. This evening I walked in the door at 7:05 PM ready to wash up and have some dinner. I was greeted by my wife Karen and she said
" DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS ? " I said "Thursday" She said
" I KNOW ITS THURSDAY...THE 17th" OOOPS our wedding anniversary !!! I screwed up by spending more time with the GS than her, no argument there! No dinner and I sleep in the basement with Iris the cat. After 34 years Karen knows me all too well...
What was I going to do tomorrow ?? The adventure continues..... Tony
