Congrats! Had a '66 Laurentian 4 dr sedan with 30,821 original miles on the 283 when I got it. It it was a 2 dr ht I'd likely still have it. My 39 yr old son still likes the 66 Pontiacs the best.

Thanks fellas. It was a long trip(not to bad though). But long time a coming. 

So first things first, I'm guessing it start with the manuals (body and service/chassis manual). I'm going to buy them first and I'm assuming Ebay is the best bet? 

First things I want to do are the brakes/brake lines.. I am aiming on buying a disc conversion kit with master cylinder (they have them available in the US) if any one knows in Canada. Please let me know. So with the brake conversion kit, that's going to force me into buying new larger rim's early as well...
