Did you get Mark's hardtop started? Did you make the maiden voyage around the block? Details? Photos?

Pretty cool.. it's always neat to see the gang get together and it's one of the best parts of this hobby.

The car runs and made two trips around the block.  Stay tuned for the video.

SWEET!

:overthetop:
I can only picture  Mark now with a towel in one hand and a bottle of Windex in the other wiping off any road dirt from those two laps.  

Can't wait to see this car up close someday at an event.

The car looks and sounds great Mark! Love that color.
Wish I could've been there. I miss hangin' out with car buddies.
...... maybe someday we can start a 65GS.com retirement community....... :sunny:

Chris, not too nutso with the cleaning routine - yet. I'm not even sure how to approach that part!

Pat, THANKS! It's been a long road, hasn't it?

Walt, Thanks as well! I hope to meet you sometime soon at a Buick event with this thing!
