I've had my 66 Skylark for ten years this upcoming winter, and now that its finally back together I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane... by exterior pictures. Enjoy!

Had an affair with a 4 door, then stole some parts. Facelift took over 12 months:

Haha, yes it was a hell of a decade:

(1) Wildcat 310, (1) Wildcat 355 (2) NA 350's, (1) N2O 355, (3) BBB's; (1) SP300, (???) TH-350's, (2) TH-400's; (1) 8.2" 10 bolt w/ 2.78's, (1) 12 bolt open 3.31's, (1) 12 bolt locker 3.31's; (6) driveshafts; (2) gas tanks; (3) front bumpers, (3) hoods, (2) rear bumpers; At lease 6 wheel/tire combinations; unknown fluid changes and nitrous fills; and about 70k miles across the span.

2004-6 were pretty bad years, much of them in downtime. :spank:

I know I have more pictures, but these were on my photobucket account :beers2:
