Looks fantastic - you HAVE to be pumped about the results you've done a great job.

I think someone has hacked into HK1837's account and is posting - cause that is the most I have seen him excited about green.

I like HQ-HJ stripes, just no fan of HX-HZ stripes.

I just looked at the HG and HQ commercial vehicles order forms. LH side mirrors were mandatory on commercials in 1970 and 1971-2 in QLD, VIC, TAS and WA. HJ would be about the same. I looked on buickzz's broadcast sheet but I can see drillings for the LH side mirror, so my guess is dealer fitment.
