Guest Louie Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sunday, I took the Queen Mary III to a local show, as I pulled in, I parked adjacent to 1970 Plymouth Superbird 440 six -pac car. On the show plaque, I wrote the following: "1963 Buick Super Wildcat - Hemi Killer, 440s too" The Superbird got the "Healey Chevrolet Pick" and the Queen Mary III got " Best of Show" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Louie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Last October 2008, a young lady had seen the Queen Mary III and booked it for her wedding this Oct 17, 2009. She was shocked and impress to see the new fur on the Wildcat. Was very proud to be cruising in it in her wedding gown :D The Tamecat wasn't impressed at all.

JohnD1956 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Wait a minute! Is that why you painted this car? Just to so a young bride could get nicer wedding pictures in it? :cool:Also liked the Hemi Killer post above. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Louie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Tempertures were in the mid to high 30's today, so I woke the big Wildcat up, removed the old steering wheel and replaced it with the NOS one that I had purchased last month.

Guest Louie Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Since my last post, I had my structure with the Buicks in collapse due to the last snow storm. The cars all had some damage, mostly windshields and roof dented. Last month been cutting the roof off the cars and cleaning. This weekend took the Wildcat out to see what damage occurred to the fur. The roof popped back up for the major part, still have some small dents. Also have dents on the hood, hood spear is broken, dent on the trunk. I installed new rear wheel cylinders, brakes and brake lines. I have new rubber lines coming for the front, then I will have the front wheel cylinders and brakes installed.
