Hey, guys, it's been awhile!

The '59 Buick is still on my bench (over a year now!). Anyway, a lot has been done (by my standard slow pace!). Fresh chrome by Dale Horner on my modified grill – got rid of the center badge be grafting in a section from another grill. Work has been done to scratch build an interior bucket and design a console and door panels. Seats are from the Monogram '58 T-bird.

I'm glad to see it back on the bench.

The "parts car" is now in the capable hands of my friend John Dellosa, so who knows what it might turn into!

A clear shifter knob would be cool too. Paul

Recent progress on the 59 Invicta; The fabrication on the interior is completed....

Turning to a vintage Aurora Custom Grill & Trim Pack, I was able to create a simple custom treatment for the rear fascia...

Next up is body work on the sink marks on top of the fins, along with the ones from the screw posts. Yuck!

The interior is looking very good! I love the backseats that are separated by the rear console. Very nice work as usual. This is a very cool project because I have always liked '59 Buick body shapes a lot.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
