I still need a straight rear panel. The one I bought is a little too pitted to use. Seems the textured portion is hard to get right.

Nice ride. To bad about the crash. I'm from Sylvania, Oh. I think I've seen the car at a few of the area shows. Haven't met though.

Finally have the car back on the road. The tail lights came in today and look great. I had a hard time getting the little clear deflector or reflector piece to stay in place so I left them out. Started cleaning up the interior for so it's more presentable for cruise nights. Still need to have the tail pipe repaired. I may have them turn out just after the rear tire this time. ------ Tach & speedometer shine very bright do you use LED´s ?

Looks like it came out real nice, sounds like a bunch of us in the Detroit area and Northern Ohio need to meet up one day somewhere and shoot the shit. Quite a nice selection of cars.

The reason it looks bright is because of the long exposure I used to take the photo. The only lights in the garage are from the cars interior so it a 2 second exposure I think.

I used their ebay store but you can buy them directly from the website or over the phone. The sent me a catalog with the order. I will take a couple photos of the finished rear later today.

That would be cool. I have only seen one 65 442 in person and I didn't even get to hear it run. My car is much nicer in photos than in person but until someone makes panels for it, its gonna stay a low dollar driver. It still gets much more attention than chevelles at cruise nights and shows.

That one nice Cutlass you have, if you need any other parts beside what you already got, let me know, I'm parting out a 65 Holiday Cutlass. Anyhow, NICE ride!!

I could use a new cover for the rear deck (where the rear speakers are) and or the strip that attaches to it. Blue preferably. Also a lock for the glove box. a drivers side arm rest/pad also blue.

Nice car!! The rear deck tray in light blue, arm rests in light blue/blue, and glove box lock are sold after market. Not sure where you r located, but the Parts Place, Fusick, OPGI, etc, etc will have what you need. DO NOT use Brothers Automotive Parts (products) in Kansas. All these parts should be around $50-75. If you need a rear tray with speaker slots, it will cost you an extra $10-15. Good luck!

had the car listed for sale but found a deal on new wheels and think I may keep it for another season now. The new wheels are Cragars also but a style I had never seen before.

You actually thought about selling such a beautiful car?!?!? She looks great with the new wheels. BTW...what springs are you using (front & rear)? I like the stance.

Yes, I have been itching to get a mid fifties station wagon. The springs are all original as far as I know. I see your tailpipes were bent a lot like I had mine done. Looks good like that.
