The quality of the reflections tell me that the body is straight!!  Nice paint job.  and color.

[casper50]

I worked pretty hard to make sure the body was correct.  Have to begin with the best foundation that you can or it will never look good.

You are truly an artist

[casper50]

Thanks Todd but really if I can do it anyone can.  Most just fear jumping in the deep end.

Those rear panel windows would be scary. Can't be too many of those around and if you broke one...……………………..I would hear the cursing down in southern Alberta. Love these videos!

[casper50]

Ebay has them listed for $229 + shipping.  Same as a Chevy. I've been able to use all the original 55 Pontiac glass except the two front door windows are broken.  Will have to buy new for those.

Picked up the finished seats from the upholsterer today.  Super pleased with them and I'm very picky on vinyl seats.

They will look even better in the car with you sitting on the driver's seat motoring down the highway at speed!! They do look nice and very well done!

Found the "before" photos.

Had to have a new windshield shipped up from the lower 48.  Cheapest that I could find was $430 shipping.  Someone told me about a business 80 miles away that brings their own barges filled with stuff up from Seattle.  Got free shipping to Seattle and it cost $45 to ship it up to Homer.  A 160 mile round trip and I'll have it in hand.

I check options for shipping costs ,choosing the cheapest.Fortunately I live close to the Canada/US border and able to have parts shipped to the lower 48 side,short trip for me..

It helps to keep the hobby more affordable.☺️
