Front glass is same as all A-bodies.  Rear glass is common with a LeMans or GTO, but not all the other A-bodies.  There was some variation in the rear glass.

Dear Loren and mid-60s Buick procrastinators . . . .

That is true, but I find myself in a most unpleasant sort of predicament.  You see I bought a headlight upgrade about 6 months ago based on a BMW Hella design that still fits in the U.S. standard 5-1/4" quad setup.  I should have gotten this upgrade done by now - right?  Well, to make "procrastinators" tale of owe as short as possible, I just started on the framework to hold the headlight relays.

So the question is . . . . will TA-Performance finish the engine before I get the new headlights in  . . . or not!

Isn't life  . . . exciting? . . . .

Cheers, Edouard

Darn deadlines. Or is that incentive?

Hope that engine comes soon for you.
