  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

65 Skylark GS

Discussion in 'Wet behind the ears??' started by Steve R, Dec 3, 2021.

    Steve R 65 GS

    Well, I what can I say, I love Buicks. I live near Baltimore MD and have a 65 Skylark GS that my father bought off of the showroom floor. I grew up in this car, bought it from my Dad in 82 and drove it every day until 1985 when I moved from Southern Indiana to Indianapolis. It is all original w/ Nailhead 401 Wildcat 445 and Super Turbine 300. Can anyone recommend a machine shop on the East Cost that really understands the Nailhead? I would like to have the engine completely rebuilt. A few years ago I was working with a gentleman near NY who worked on the 401s but can not remember his name. I took a tour of Automotive Machine in Philpot KY but understand they are out of business now :-( I plan to pull the engine and hand deliver it to the shop. any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Steve

    I do "Nail" rebuilds for many years. Use a shop in Patterson, N.Y.
