New guy from mass, Turbo Buick Nailhead in a protouring 66 skylark GS

[66larkgs]

Hi my name is Paul and i am from the southcoast of Mass. I am building a 1966 Buick Skylark GS with a Buick Nailhead with a Garrett turbo. I have had this car since i was 15 and it went from barn to barn and i would always work on it but never had a direction. About 6 years ago i started the frame off and to get the bug again for the car and the last 3-4 years i have been saving,collecting parts and redoing things i did to the car when i was younger. The engine is a 1966 Buick Nailhead, Ross custom forged pistons, forged rods and crank,total seal rings, clevitte bearings, ARP head studs,Main Studs,Rod bolts,will run it on 7-10psi boost.Aeromotive a1000 fuel pump, aeromotive fuel regulator, CSU blow thru carb,EV carb hat, msd dist, msd 6btm. Homemade in my one stall garage ss304 turbo headers. I run Ridetech Shockwaves now, Ridetech lower control arms, Hotchkis upper front, Kore3 hubs, front and rear c5 brakes, GM drilled and slotted and powdercoated calipers. podwer coated QSP narrowed 9" with detroit locker,moser axles.umi rear tubular arms, I run billet specialties 18" fronts wheels and 20" in the rear.
I call it a hussle build because when i wanted a big dollar part i would have to sell a toy, but a cheap car to flop it and so on. I am a teacher so i think that usally says it all.. but with countless hours and many nights sitting in the garage drinking a six pack looking at what i should do next i am comming to the final strech.
