I joined the broad about a year 1/2 ago. havn"t had too much time to really use it much. I am finally getting to work on my 72 skylark conv. It was originally a 350 2bbl a/c power drum brakes bench seat. i have the frame done and awaiting the body. The frame was sand blasted and painted all new suspension new 3:42 posi rearend. I have the body on the rotisery. I have managed to weld in the trunk floor and the pass side floor . I have started sand blasting everything else under it. hope to see it back on the frame in a few weeks so i can start on the quarters. im a ironworker and i just really got started on it and i get laidoff do to lack work and weather. I got time to work on it now but lack of funds. I"m goning to put together as a 455 bucket seats. A buddy has everything to put a 4 speed in it but don't know if i want to be shifting gears. Or just put it in D and cruise.
Greetings from the other side of Missouri. Sounds like you are farther along with your Skylark than I am with mine. A belated welcome to the board. - Freed
That 4 speed question has crossed my mind in the past too. I went with the Turbo 400, but probably will go 4 speed next time. My father is getting some age on him and could not change gears without pain, so I better do it while I can!!! Welcome.
Thanks I have seen the device before, but I think this is the first time I have had an opportunity to see it actually in use. Thanks for posting the picture!
Thats a nice setup Dan Welcome, and by all means keep those nice resto pics coming. Dana & Beth Say hi to O'Fallon for us
Re: Thanks Thank-you, maybe I will do that one of these days. I hope you are keeping that thing well basted!! p
this is a pic of the hood i just finished i took my stock hood and welded the scoops out of a wrecked gran sport hood. came out pretty good if i do say so my self.
WOW!!!!! Now that my friend looks like some awsome metal work. Welcome aboard. You will definately enjoy the people you meet here. Great project youv'e got going there. John
Before he goes 4 spd he will have to pry all those parts from my hands or from my garage and if he doesn't hurry from my 71 GS JK
Anyone else got a damaged hood I can get Dan to fix for me ? As long as the scoupes are ok then I'll have him weld it into my flat hood JK
