Thanks guys, more grunt work this weekend. Not much time to work on her after that.... I have the MCACN`s show coming up http://www.mcacn.com/ and then Thanksgiving :beers2: Dan
Don't you just love the parts from Mark @ than & now!!!!!!!!!!! They are the best.......................
Yes, Mark is indeed a man of integrity. This particular RH side quarter panel is the third one I recieved from "Then and Now" The first arrived with a factory flaw.... The second arrived all banged up and bruised from shipping.... The third is Flawless! Mark thanks again for making everything RIGHT! :TU: Dan
Very Nice Dan, I too look forward to watching the progress on your car. I hope to someday soon start a project like this as well. I am inspired by your posting and hope to post something similar as I restore mine too. Jeremy
More updates..... RH floor section and LH quarter stripped. Found another problem area.... does anyone have a original donor patch I can use...I would gladly pay for a good original lower section. Dan
Dan, I might be able to help...how much do you need and how soon do you need it? Send me a pm and I'll get you a phone number.
John, No..... no one is reproducing the door panels. I have ordered the door panels and seat material from SMS Interiors, Not Cheap. "Rubber Flooring" is difficult to find. This Post Sedan has a Blue "Rubber Flooring" I do have an original, however I have to dye it the correct Blue. Dan
Most 1970-72 Post Sedan Skylarks were base line cars.....having said that, I do believe that they were lighter than other Coupe 1970-72 Skylarks. The question is how much lighter? Most of these cars were equipped as "Plain Janes" low optioned cars, as mine was. Mine is a bare basic Post Sedan, with "Rubber Flooring", taxi cab bench interior. Clear glass. No rear arm rests, small exterior trim, non-hidden wipers. Single Horn.
I guess we could just get Chevelle post panels and throw a Buick emblem on it. Since most people aren't building these as show cars.
Cut out rotted LH Quarter Section Mr Big (Glen Biggers) is sending me this nice original section. A Big :TU: for Mr Big!
