Just got the latest from Bill. He said should be ready this coming weekend. Has a few minor details to work on and then a road test of the car. Everytime it just a few more days, a few more weeks, be patient it will be done correctly and this kind of job takes a while.
Still waiting. He got it running found a few oil leaks and said that the used harmonic balacer was bad. He had to order a new one, they are NLA. He did find one at Mike's from G&M. Bill said that it should be running tonight and done by this weekend. I am no longer holding my breath.
Bob, if it is done I would like to meet up with you at that dyno day Nov 5. I will not run the car if it is done but will be nice to get out and drive it.

PIcked it up on Monday. It sure does drive nice. Put the new Simmons rims on it. Took some pictures that wil be below. Bill is a nice guy and knows these cars, but is very slow and very expensive. Took my car 8 months to get done.

Nice lookin ride. Talked to Troy last night and he said you got your car back. We will have to all meet up sometime. Later, Bob.
Looks nice Jeff! You ought to bring it to "dyno day" at Stiegemeier's on Nov. 5th. The club is trying to get at least 8-10 guys to bring their car. If the weather is nice, I'm bringing the GN.

I know this is an old post but just wanted to let people know who are not familiar with shops in the area. Mike at G&M Automotive, has not been reliable in the past. Most of the Buick club here has disowned him. My personal experiences were 6 months turn around time was the quickest turn around. Bill has done most of the mechanical work on my car, but I don't think he does tuning. Some complain he is expensive, but I've done work with him for 20yrs & never had to bring the car back once, because he did something wrong. A side note, Bill don't accept credit cards.
