Thanks Elvind, The rear will probably go down another inch to inch and a half. If you want the front lower, you'll want to use more offset to pull the front wheels in or you'll have rubbing issues.
Wow you have really nice car! Check mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhlq1usrcgjadht/2014-06-25 12.50.55.jpg?dl=0
Very nice! Do you get a lot of people asking you what it is? I get that all the time, and they say they don't remember them. I see youre not running a hood spear. I debated a long time over what to do here. Thanks for dropping in.
Yea lot of people asking "is that car from supernaturals?" Yes there is some same, I mean color.. I just bought my car about 5 months ago, hood is matt black and without spear, but I found spear from this forum and going to put it and paint hood clear black in this winter. -66 Skylark is coolest Buick body evermade if you ask from me. Do you have any spare stainless trims, Im am still missing some, please check pic in first post here: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.p...me-trims-and-fuel-gauge&p=2371763#post2371763 How about fuel gauge, did you sold it already?
I just went to your thread and saw that you are in Finland. I bet you do get a lot of questions about your car. I'm pretty sure I have that gauge sitting around somewhere, I'll dig around and see if I can find it. Sorry, no other trim but I do have another dash bezel.
Yep, they mean well I'm sure. I like the exclusivity of the Buick, I guess that's a small price to pay.
We have surprisingly much old american cars here, I live in small 24000 people town and last summer we had cruising with about 150 old amercans, it is quite lot I think. Im interested about that fuel gauge, needle in my gauge jamming all the time, I tried to clean and lubricate it but its still not work. My dash bezel is fine.
Hi Guys - Just joined the site and have a '66 Skylark in the garage I picked up last year. This post in particular caught my eye. Phenomenal build. Just the motivation I needed. I have two questions if you have time - the coil-over kit for the rear - is that a Ride-Tech kit, or something you built, or a mod from when they narrowed the housing? Also - what headlights did you put in it - with the halos? Was that a kit from someone or something you built? Thanks for a wonderful thread - Mike
Zoomin and Juze, You both have some beautiful cars. I love the red interior, looks really sharp! Those wheel really give it an edgy look too. Well done!
This car has really turned out great! What was your old tire/wheel combination and were there fitment or clearance issues? The new wheels look great! Looks like nice Power Tour vehicle! In the old wheel setup for sale?
Guys, I apologize for not getting back to this thread until now - Juze, you still need the gauge? Let me know and I'll send it your way. Thank you Mike! Yes, the coil-overs are from Ride Tech. Very nice pieces, I highly recommend them. While the rear end is an all new, narrowed unit from Moser, all the brackets are in the stock places so everything bolts right up. The headlights came assembled like that. I don't remember off the top of my head where I got them. If you want, I'll find the receipt. People just love seeing a Buick done like this, a step away from the ordinary! Thank you sir! Thanks man! The old combo was 17x7 with 225/45-17's all the way around. I purposely went conservative on the fitment as my thinking at the time was for this to be a driver and I didn't want any scraping issues. I'm using them on my new driver for now - 67 Sport Wagon...
Congrats on the new arrivals! Some of these came with 3rd row forward facing seats, just in case you decide to add more.
