Welcome Doug!! Post pics of the Skylark when you get a chance. There is a wealth of knowledge from guys on this site. You'll love it here. :woot:

Welcome Doug! I am across the bridge in Puyallup. We have a small Lateral-G crowd around the Pacific Northwest. We even have our own local heros Greg Weld and Jason Rushforth- they are kind of a big deal around here:rofl:

Check out Jason's Buick with the LS2 engine and we also autocross out at Bremerton Raceway. Hope to meet you this summer! - Chris

Welcome Doug! Nice car...

Sweet car, my first car was a 64 skylark

Love the car! Nice work

Nice ride!

Welcome nice looking Buick.

LMAO! What a smarta$$!

Doug contacted me about designing a mild facelift for the Buick so I immediately sent him here for a crash course and hopes of you guys helping me talk him out of a dual quad 455. Mission accomplished. Doug is now voraciously gathering info on doing a lot of the things to his Buick that I did to mine.

Welcome to the party, Doug

Party time!
 

Hell yeah party time, I have been driving my Buick on and off for a few years...well when ever I came home on leave. I never did to big of projects on it because I didn't want to not be able to drive it.

When I get back off this deployment I plan on pulling the 300 v-8 and 2spd power glide, and getting it all cleaned up for re-sale, going to get my 455 block ready to sell, offenhauser intake cleaned up and try to get the money I need to buy my LS1.

But at the same time I hate not being able to drive it....the front suspension is old, sags, bushings are shot....so really it is unsafe.

What do you all think...?
