    After 8 long years wondering if I'll ever get there, here's my 69 Skylark '400' project. I still have a bunch of little (okay a lot) things to finish, but I'm finally driving it.

    Nice and clean, with great attention to the small details.
    Looks like what a COPO Buick should have been able to be ordered like:TU:

    I really like how clean looking white is on the 68-69 cars. This is the look I want on my 68, but with my aluminum rims. :TU:

    Very Nice! Very detailed. I remember, that back in the late 60's and 70's, there were a lot of yellow high beams on cars. I like the yellow high beams. Great work!

    Thanks everyone. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

    The COPO look is exactly what I was trying for. I'm pretty sure I got the amber high beams from George D. Tires are 235/60-15 front and 275/60-15 with a 5" back space rim on the rear. I wanted to go red lines but cash was a little tight at the time.

    Major things to finish are the AC, Air cleaner, coolant recovery, and change the 2.56 posi over to 3.08's. There's some little things too so it'll be a busy winter.
