    Hi all,

    my name is Matthias and I'm from Germany. Over the last two years I restored a 66 Skylark Convertible with a 310 Wildcat Engine and a ST300 trans. I did all the work by myself except the paint job. I hope to find some help here with special questions ,like the one I will post in a few mins ;-) But also help others with the experience I gathered throughout this project. I don't think that I would do a "frame-off" restoration again but it was worth the work (and money)

    Best Regards from Germany,
    Matthias

    Very nice work. Where in Germany are you? I restored a 64 Chevelle in Germany when I was stationed there in the 70s.

    Hi Matthias,

    welcome to this very helpful forum!
    I am located 60 mls northwest of Stuttgart, in Hockenheim, so maybe we get in touch on one of the car shows on our area...
