This '71 Skylark is my pre-'70 GS455 convertible ride (aka Diane). She was our only car for many years; reliable hauling my bride and our 3 children all over the country. To keep her in the family, I passed her on to my gear-head uncle years back.
Getting it torn down and starting to cut out all the frame rot. I'll post up the progress as it comes in. Got the stock rear axle modded up with the wilwood dynapro calipers and rotors Got the Edelbrock heads and intake snugged down today. The CVF serpentine system is also all buttoned up. I had to grind down a cheap 19mm socket to tighten down the head studs from ARP. The provision that's milled on the far ends of the heads (4 in total) wouldn't take a thin-walled 3/4 inch socket....
