No worries, like I said I love buicks. If one gets back on the road it's a win. :superhack:

The good thing this parts car has helped a couple people out so it’s helped not just mine but others as well. I’m hoping to get a lot of the body work done on the 82 this winter but well see

Making progress, this evening I got the donor firewall separated from its original door posts. It is now ready for cleaning and repair so it can be ready for the GN when I marry these two together hopefully this winter. I would love to have most of the metal work done this winter but we shall see

Making a lot of steady progress though. And yet again I'm jealous of someone's shop space.

Typhoon is a beaut, even with that cowl hood.:rolleyes: Always wanted one in the solid red color.

The original is stored safely in a box. My garage is a little tight, I plan on building a 40x40 behind my house so i can have more space plus a lift

Remaining floor pan spot welds are all drilled out. Firewall is just about stripped part wise. Next will be getting it down to bare metal and get it ready for install on the 82 here in the next couple months hopefully
