Well hopefully the snow won't be here too soon Mike. I can heat the garage and keep adding fiberglass and resin, but the sanding has to be done outside.

Speak for your self. I am an impatient sort and want to see the dang final product!! After all since I do not have the talent for a project like this I must live vicariously through someone that does!

So I have the duplication of the drivers side locked in... Although the ugly state of my car might not show it, I have spent a lot of hours working out the fiberglass since the last pictures I posted. I chose to sweep the belt lines down over the rear hatch as a sort of nod to the boat tail Buicks of the past and like the way it is shaping up.
What do you guys think?

This car is really amazing. I can't tell you how impressed I am with your shaping skills. You are really doing a great job. I'm sure when it's done it will clean up on the show circuit. You have NO competition. Well done!

You know when everyone was submitting names I think SkyLark Estate suits this vehicle because you have really captured the look of the Custom Buicks of that past era, and yet you have gone your own way and not copied them. Great work.
