A few more after the top was done.
I need to get the car outside in the sunlight both for the top and to be able to see what it looks like in natural light.

Things have slowed down a bit. With spring I’ve been tasked with a couple domestic projects.
The interior that was ordered in June 2020 was nowhere in sight, so I cancelled it. New interior components have been ordered from Legendary with a shipping date of 22 August 2021.
A drivetrain has been selected and ordered with an earliest possible delivery date of June and that’s optimistic.
But there’s still lots to do on the car, if I ever complete these domestic projects

Dear Kevin and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

The interior that was ordered in June 2020 was nowhere in sight, so I cancelled it. New interior components have been ordered from Legendary with a shipping date of 22 August 2021.

Sorry that the first supplier dropped the ball.  I guess we cannot complain too much about delays given all the chaos we are facing, but there can be no doubt - if you have a classic car you've gotta have patience!

A drivetrain has been selected and ordered with an earliest possible delivery date of June and that’s optimistic.

Well now, so what drive train did you end up selecting?

But there’s still lots to do on the car, if I ever complete these domestic projects   

Sadly, I know were you are coming from.  At least in winter I don't have much to do in the yard.  From the start of spring to the end of autumn, there is always way more that needs to be done than I can ever manage to find the time to spare.

Cheers, Edouard

Edouard, I’ve selected the GM Connect and Cruise LS3 430hp 425tq with a Tremec five speed .67 OD setup. Respectable power and lightweight with it’s aluminum block and heads. I liked the LS so much in the Special I just couldn’t resist. 
GM is backed up on LS production, it will be at least two months before delivery.
I’m excited, the car should be a blast to drive.

Dear Kevin and owners of "assertive" mid-60s Buicks,

Wow!  That's a really neat combination!

I’m excited, the car should be a blast to drive.

You said it!!
