    oop's wrong date. I meant The week of Thursday Oct 21.
     
  5. Look here lads , Do you boys have any time line of when this so car will be shipping to LA, at Reynolds My wife has called them today as they say: THEY DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HERE, OR RUNNING.
    Now I'm not going to drive 38hours for nothing Jack. You spend so much time posting you need stuff and Jimmy Shiels had it at his finger tips. But did not call them.
    He's been telling every one if it was not for him, This would be where it's at today. Some kick him where it will do him the most good.

    Hello to all-

    I'm Jeff Stork and I'm helping the Reynolds Buick folks with the Open House. The '70 Stage 2 is already on its way and I spoke with Jack Mancini this afternoon. They're pulling an all-nighter for final assembly, but he assures me the car is leaving tomorrow at dawn headed for us.

    Click the link below for Open House details.

    We're VERY excited!

    Jeff

    We put her on the trailer last nite.
    We had to use a junk radiator and a junk carb to get her on it.
    Have a very nice NOS radiator going out overnite on Monday.
    Looking for a Carter AFB carb to ship out unless any West Coasters out there have one.
    When she comes back to RI we still have to put the 2" lift in the front,
    looking for some molding for around the vinyl top line in the back and
    some other small misc stuff.
    The interior came out awesome. Still have to hook up the lights front and rear etc.. But, she's on the way.

    Look's great Jack, You've done an outstanding job on her :).
    Are you on the road with the car to? Driving behind it to make she does not get high jacked by all the other Buick guy's, LOL

    You need a car carer for when? The drive back to home? I know someone, but Jimmy wont go for it. I'll PM you with the Info.
