May end up a boulevard cruiser after all...some updated pics of my '61 Buick Skylark

Here is the introduction of our newest addition;

I have been gathering parts and replacing what is needed to make this a sound daily driver (and cruiser).
So far I've added a full new exhaust with 1 3/4" tubing and 1 chamber Flowmasters with Bellflowers and cut-outs. It has what I think as the perfect sound. I like the Bellflowers because the sound is far enough away that it is very quite inside but has a nice rap outside. The open cut-outs are mainly for looks but are functional and very loud. We replaced the steering wheel with a silver flaked one. I have partially cleaned the engine, it's pretty wild to see a clean aluminum V8.

Enough of the jabber-jaw, here you go;








We still plan on bags, some different wheels or caps, new tires and some suttle paint work.
The car should end up looking pretty cl***y, we'll see.

I love it, it's going to be (and is) great!!!!

 

Looks great!!!! I've thought about doing the exhaust like that on my '62 Skylark. I almost went with the exact steering wheel until I found a perfect black Superior 500. Keep up the good work and giving me ideas!!!!

 

Thanks guys. I'll try to post a shot of the underneath. The guy that does all my exhaust work is a master.

very nice homie.....

 

(if it were mine) i'd cut the coils on the front

 

You bet!... it would just be temporary (and easy to do) until you bag it. Should make a big difference on an already cool looking car.
