    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.
