    I've had a 65 2-door sedan (base Skylark, not a GS) for 10+ years.
    I tore it down years ago to start a restoration on it. To keep a long bitter story short, my then-wife was all for the project until she realized that I'd be spending money. After that she had a royal fit every time I turned a wrench & it ended up just sitting. We divorced a couple of years later, but I haven't restarted work on it. Frankly, I still get PO'd every time I try; the old scars reopening...

    Current projects are a remodel on the garage and the project 66 pickup in my signature. Garage'll be done this summer. When the pickup's done I'll look at the Skylark again. I'm with a wonderful woman now; more supportive than I could ever imagine, and a car buff to boot. She intends to make new memories around the Skylark by it being "our" project for her to learn on. She wants to do a 68/69 GS for herself, so you know she's a class act!!

    Good to hear progress is being made on the 65 lenses. I'm rock solid on needing two sets and may have to get one more set for spares.

    I still have, perhaps, two to four sets of the 66 lenses left. No 65s yet. The last I heard from the "vendor", was he is working on it. I can do little from this end other to ask for periodic updates.
