Projects Oh No!!! It Can't Be...Another Gasser Build? Yup, 1961 Buick Skylark

It's not the speed in which you proceed but the quality with which you finish. Couldnt be any better good job knuckles

 

Guys, Thanks alot!

Red, you guys coming Saturday?


My wheels are done. Heather's going to take them to get them mounted tomorrow. I can't wait to see them on the car.

looks awsome

 

cant make it sat went to round up last weekend and cassie has to go to her grandmothers for grandmas birthday she just lost her grand dad during myrtle beach show. Maybe I can make it out wednesday night hope all of you have a great time see you later

 

Too Cool - Looks Great Ron - Can't wait fir a ride!!

 

so what front wheels are you ending up with? I looked but didn't see if you said or not? I saw the back slots wouldn't work - front slots with steelies would be bitchin

 

Looking good.
I still have the intake. I blew the dust off it today. Just let me know when you are ready.

 

i would check with "vintage air"

 

Glad I got to check out the Buick at the shop yesterday. Absolutely BAD ASS!!!

 

Thanks man.

Ansen's bitch! With the steelies out back.

Thanks for keeping in "layaway" for me! We'll be needing it soon.

I will thanks.

I can only hope that mine will sound and run somewhat close to yous. Great exit last night! Thanks!!


I'll post a few pics of the fronts mounted. I am very pleased with the look.

VERY NICE..... I don't recall a skylark gasser, even so not very common. Looks like you started with a very solid car, love it, Im watching...

 

very impressed with the multi quote response. Heather must have helped you. Ansens - that's right! CHEERS Bitch!

 

Lookin bad ass mang!

 

Yeah, it is a seriously solid car. Thanks man.

I'm trainable believe it or not.

Thanks Holmes!


Pics for Tudor, your old Ansen Sprints;






I love them.

Ron, the Special is looking SOOOOOO hot! Love the slots out front!

Think of metallic silver powder coat for the trailing arms.

 

Thanks man! I may consider the silver. I think it would look neat.

BTW...it aint no Special. Skylark baby, Skylark! You know better than that.




BloodyKnuckles

 

I like it, great choice !!!

 

Nice looking car,Great job on the build so far. We started with a clean little car like you. So happy we went the gasser/street freak look. we love driving this car everywhere.Drops jaws where ever we go.and yours will do the same.

 

SmokinBill, you have a great looking car! I would have to say that the condition of both cars is similar.

I can't wait to be finished.

Thanks.

ah ha ha - I was thinking silver on the trailing arms too.

That's the mullet wheel combo - party in the front, business out back

 

Nice Work

 

Let's see. It's June now. Has this thing been out terrorizing yet?

 

Nope, he's been working on putting that Caddy 500 in his work truck. The Buick is back to it's lonely self all dressed up and looking pretty but nowhere to go.

 

Boobie, I got to lookin' at the "SKYLARK" the other day when I was at the shop.....

Fab the front radius rods out of some 1x2 (or other suitable) tube with the same drilled and filled holes. Make them long enough to run back to the front trailing arm mounts, fab a third "gusset" and mount both on one long bolt. That should keep the mounts clean, and make the radius rods long (short) enough to help with your steering geometry.

If this doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to draw it out for you.

Whatever you do......get busy!

 

Easy jackass

Had a setback today with the Caddy. It'll be squared away Monday.

You better get to drawing man!



Guys, thanks for the concern. I have to sort my dailys out first. As soon as I get the damn truck squared away I have to get back on this thing. I have had plenty of time to think about what needs to be finished.

I'm on it.

Don't laugh at my etcha-sketch work! This is kinda what I was thinkin'.....
