5 years in the making 72 buick skylark GSX tribute..Finally done PICS

Thanks..School finally paid off..:laugh:

 

nice car man, i like it alot paint is sick

 

Looks like the body guy did an outstanding job on the panels, love the red and black.

 

I do remember the Dodges' painting them two tone in the seventies.

The one I remember was Like a flouresent green and black two tone or a yellow and black two tone.

It does look good!

Good job!

Scott

 

I love the colors you have chosen it looks great :beers2::beers2:.

Paint job looks awesome. That is the color I wanted for our 71 but the wife wanted white, go figure. Did your paint guy enjoy the stripe package? I know mine about pulled his hair out trying to match factory (he's a little OCD that way)

 

beautiful!!!

 

as you guys now previous pic was modified a little bit with my computer:Brow: ..heres the car right now, althought not yet done, here it is i still need front bumper brackets for the 70, i need the grille, and i need the sport mirrors installed..anyways here it is.will take a pic of it in the soon as soon as i get the son to come out...lol...raining but clearing up..had to go with a set of 15x8 chevy rallies for now till i get my o No: custom made wheels done...15x8 front and rear 275 60 15 rear 245 60 15 fronts

 

He actually was fast in making the stripe itself, the tip of it was what was hard to do. basically got it in about 2 tries..not bad for a very picky owner lol i would of made him do it over if anything was wrong with it, but fortunetly came out good..

 

so here it is again, a little bit of what i have so far.. still need misc parts but will complete as time goes by.. hope you enjoy.. lets get the pics rolling again in the members rides. last 2 pics are of when i took the car to get the body work fixed..

 

Beautiful!
I love red :bglasses: :beers2:

 

I kinda like that car. I might suggest that the grille is one of the very best looking Buick grilles out there and I cannot see yours. Maybe consider painting it grey and silver? Nice color combo !

 

that was kind of my main focus, make the grille blend with the stripes, till i get the chrome bumpers id leave it as is, but might change it as soon as i add all the other misc parts..thanks for your comment, i appreciate all of them..

 

I like it! Looks Great! certainly came along way!

PS: hows your alignment? noticed in the pic that your front driver side wheel seems to have some extra "toe in" or maybe its just the pico No:

 

sweet.. LOOKS GREAT

my sister lives in Sac.

all us Nor-cal buick guys should get a get-together going at sac Raceway sometime in the near future.

 

lets do it, i know a guy here that was trying to gather up a club with all classics.. but i guess failed, we should all get together at the track one of these days, as soon as we find out who is in norcal area....

alignment on it is still pretty bad, i will take it to the shop as soon as i get the tags, and custom plates:Brow: thanks to all

thanks, scottfisher.. r u going to be there, hope more buick guys show this year, will definitely try to attend...this one i cant miss. now that my car is alll done its got to hit the streets this august....hope to get more buick guys outhere...id like to ride in a crew..that would look great coming down the strip where they do the drive through:3gears:

 

I have all intentions of going to Bowling Green Kentucky this year.
My past problem was I was living in Silicon Valley for years.
It was just to far to go from California.

As for Hot August nights, I deeply miss going.
I would go each summer while in San Jose' and stay @ the Atlantis.
My inlaws live in Saratoga so we would drive up if we visit.
It's been over five years since I've been to Hot August nights though.
However I was in your neck of the woods this past winter.
Stayed @ Harrahs south shore and man was there snow on the ground.

This has got to be the biggest car show in the whole USA!
Unbelievable....I may still make Reno this summer.
