I love everything about your Chevelle! I'm going to get the measurements this week probably and we'll see how it goes.

Thanks flashed!

When I started this thread I had no idea it would turn out this way. I just took advantage of different opportunities that presented themselves, and here we are.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth

Long time with no update, but things will start moving along again now.

The seats have been re-covered and all the panels are ready for install




Kyle had paint matched to the interior and sprayed the exposed metal in the interior.



Test fit the interior






The glass will be going in this week.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth

Glass goes on, shifter gets placed on floor from column, PCM gets its home under the seat, Vintage Air goes under dash, front fenders get placed for the final time.

I dropped off pot metal pieces to get rechromed. Boy, it's tough to find places that want to mess with it

I've got to make decision on wheels soon and get those on orde.

Sounds like a plan. Can't wait for you to take me for a test drive

low.. I guess I just haven't found the right one yet.. Working on a 88 Land Cruiser at this time.. Having some problems finding a 5.3 – 4L60E combo.. Let me know if you come across anything that might work for me..

Also, I hope to make it by to see Ruth soon..

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth

So I finally found this thread. Was reading your latest on Short Changed and came across your statement of Ruth and respray, clicked the link in your sig and DAAAAAAAYUMMM!!! That's one nice Skylark you've got! Weird how the clear lifted after a rain storm though. I guess it all worked out since now you've got an LS and black/red combo. Looks great!

I feel like I just watched a show that ended with "to be continued..."

You guys wouldn't believe how over the top this car already is, I can't wait to see it finished. Pictures really don't do it justice!
