Waldron’s all stock set.  This is like #5 from them.  Pretty long turnaround-6-8 weeks, but worth it.

Good call on that fuel line.  Can't have any Hot Roddin' with that tiny orifice choking back your fuel.

Looks like something I might task with the Cincinnati Driveline and Hydraulics shop if I were working on it.

Cheers,

Really coming together.  I dread getting it home and slowing progress.

The Electra is ready for the chrome to be installed.  I am REALLY getting anxious.

[Wildcats - 1962-1970]

in 65, 66, 67 and 68 the WIldcat and ELectra shared the 126" wheelbase.  The LeSabre was on a 123" wheelbase.

I'm working on and Electra now and the trunk is bigger.

Update:  We will be giving these away at the WOT meeting in Bowling Green in May during the GSCA event.  

It will be super fun.  I will share this other places, but this is the first announcement.  

Cheers!

I had these made for a WOT meeting @ bowling Green.  We gave a case of them out as door prizes.

[64 Le Sabre wagon]

Very nice !  I was in NZ touring the South Island then ended the trip in Aukland.  I met John Murray there - from the Buick v8 board-

he picked me up in his LS6 Chevelle and we rode around then parked and had some Tui beer.  

Your wagon is a match for mine too.  Welcome aboard.  - Ted from Ohio

Steve, there is no great support for this board style of headliner.  

I've got 3 WIldcats that have now been changed to the bow style.  The Electra here is going to 

be my experiment in recovering with foam.  The bow plastic I've harvested from several cars.  

Fingers crossed for the result.
