sup guys, ive been scouring these boards for a while. i think im gonna start posting now. I'm over from www.fuelslut.net under the same name. Let me start by saying i am a 'rice' convert, i swore by the supra, until my new found domestic loving friends turned me... now i drive a 97 cobra, and i have a 73 455 sitting in my room, waiting to get built. I am currently searching for a 70-72 skylark 2 door in good condition to do a swap to. The buick GS 455 is my favorite car, and i curse my ignorance for not paying attention to the perfection of what is GM. I'm in philly, so i dont know if u guys are around here at all. I go to college out here. i hope i can learn a lot from u guys, thank u in advance for putting up with my idiotic questions.
lol, thanks guys, i dont know what to do first... i want to take this thing to a shop (i put it in the trunk of my cobra, yes it fit somehow and i feel like im doing wheelies everywhere) and get it cleaned/cut/bored/honed or should i buy a nice chassis first? any thoughts?
Hello Lifeat26psi, Welcome to the board.I am in south Jersey,and know of a couple of cars (Skylarks) sitting.One of which I plan on getting myself. I know of a 70 Skylark,no a/c,350- 2v,white,black top car. The gentleman is the original owner and says the car has been sitting for ten years.I've been "chasing" this car for about a year. If I catch up with him,I would be happy to let you know. :beer
Cool. It's like a security blanket, but loud. I wanted to keep one under my bed because it would help me sleep better. Welcome to the board. :laugh:
hahahaha, u guys are great...yeah, my landlord walks into my room and is like...are you building a ****ing car in here....(i had drag radials/exhaust, the motor, gears, engine stands....yada yada yada..., and my room isnt that big) and he thought i was sick in the head. GS462GS, hey man, if u can keep me posted on that, that would be great... and i also go to atco quite often i dont know if u guys to there. I know my buddies and i are going to englishtown on july 24th for the F.A.S.T. event.
I know where there is a decent chassis in CT, a '72 Skylark with the I-6 & 2-speed auto, he is asking $1500. -Bob Cunningham
Welcome aboard! If you can't find a nice GS to drop that in there's always the 455 Regal converison. If you have any trouble with that thing in your room here's a good bit of camouflage for you:
That is so awesome! :TU: Now I know what to do with the spare 455 I have in storage. I really like the drink holders, too! Since I work with computers, I was thinking of doing something similar with some of the old servers and systems I keep adding to my collection, but THIS "motor" table... No wonder I've never drank coffee! IT WILL HAPPEN. (Someday!) I'm filing away the picture for a reminder! -- Larry 70 Electra Convertible
define decent chassis..... i was looking for something that i didnt need to do too much body work to, like a clean lark' that might be a possibility. that table is badass...i think its a landrover v8 if im not mistaken.
The wife would shoot me the first time she moved it to vacumn under it. :laugh: Build more and place them on Ebay!! Fords, Chevy and all others too. Would make a killing!! Fed Ex would be pissed at you too.:af:
If thats the only traks or stains he gets on that carpet he'll be lucky ! :Brow: :eek2: :TU: That engine coffee table is funny Chit ...... Oh back in the day .....:Brow: :TU:
