    I need the front of the roof for a 70-72 skylark. Corner to corner would be great including the entire windshield channel and about 3 inches into the roof itself. Gotta love these vinyl top cars. I need it shipped to 15317.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    It could be cut right below the roof. My pillars are both good, mainly the windshield channel is rusted out. This is where I really wished I lived down south:) . I'll watch for your pm.

    Thanks,

    Tim,
    Wanna make a small trip east? I will let you have a real nice complete cowl from my 71 GS if so. All I need to do is remove the 4 speed pedals and some heater pieces and you are more than welcome to it. It's currently inside and not bad at all..I have posted pics before and others have never gotten back to me about it..Perfect donor bud.

    Wheelz, I could use the rear window filler panel and lower window channel, but I'm not sure what's a fair price since you would have some time involved in cutting it out. Hell, I could probably use the whole car....:laugh: Shipping from Florida wouldn't be chump change either. Let me know what you think.

    Pat, is the cowl from a non a/c car? If so, I'm interested. Do you have a link to pics? How far east are you?

    Mark, you have a pm.


    Thanks guys
    Tim

    4.If you come out I-80 I am just off the 192 mile marker. If you come up from I-99 I am 1 hour 15 mins NE from Altoona. About 45 mins from State College Pa. I guarantee you will like this piece! Even the floor was Por 15'd. It actually could be completely welded on as I cut it to be a complete cowl donor.Trouble is, I only have my 1970 Skylark and wont see a need for this.

    Brian, I did see yours, but weren't sure what you wanted for it. Pat offered his for free, and I think it'll be about the same distance either way. I may still be interested since my GS 350 is an a/c car. I'm not a big fan of a/c in these old cars. Just something else to go wrong. Do you have any pics?

    I need this gone ASAP as I need room that it's taking up in my barn. Price is still free and needs gone by the end of the month. I have a couple pieces to remove and that will take 15 minutes. Would hate to see this go to the scrapper as well....

    Pat, I haven't forgot about you, but I did loose your number. I'm in North Carolina right now, but I'll be home next week. I was hoping to make the trip some time maybe next weekend. What's your schedule like?

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if a chevelle roof skin is the same as our buicks? Thanks, Scott
