Hi, my name is john. i live in Oregon, have been into cars pretty much my whole life. in the past, i have built a 1963 ford f100, 1957 chevy pickup, 1968 dodge d100, 1971 vw squareback. my new love is a 1964 buick skylark, building it late 60's early 70,s style. right now its completely gutted, going through the whole car, doing it right. thanks for having me
Welcome to the board. This is a great place and people will help you with your questions should you have any.
Hello John, Welcome. Good to see another '64 owner join up. I am sure you will really enjoy your 64, they are great cars. I have had mine only 11 months, and enjoy mine a lot. Lots of helpful, very knowledgeable people on the board. Fill us in on your plans and post some pictures when you can. Best wishes. Michael
Hey John get a few more posts so that you can post a picture or two of that car! Where in Oregon are you?
thanks for the welcome guys, im in Keizer, its a suburb of salem. ill post some pics tonight, i picked up a set of keystone klassics on craigslist for 50 in GREAT shape. thin white walls, eventually bag it, but lower it. gonna flake, pattern and lace the roof. she was a mess when i got her, but shes starting to come together now slowly. it only takes :dollar:. thanks again for the welcome
Welcome! (Re: Building a 1964 Buick Skylark) Howdy natas2018 and mid-60s Buick fans, Welcome to V-8 Buick!! Excellent choice of car . . . . . even if I'm slightly biased!! :Brow: Indeed, us fans of this particular Buick masterpiece will definitely want to see a few pics! :kodak: You'll definitely find all kinds of help here. Even some you didn't know you needed!! :grin: Cheers, Edouard :beer
looking forward to the build. So how are you going about this stock restro? drag, pro-touring/restromod? donk?(just kidding) lol
heres a couple of pictures of the keystones i got on craigslist for $50. going to mount them on the car this weekend, most of the pics of the car are at home so ill upload later.
Great project! I suggest a Buick 350 and 2004R trans swap. Good luck with what ever you decide to do!
it came with a 1971 350/350 tranny. unburied everything, thats what the floor looked like. wire wheeled it clean and sprayed a rubber coating on the floor, pretty stoked how it turned out. y
Good work, keep us posted on your progress! What he was trying to say is: Ditto what Sean said. or even a newer LS series chevy engine and 2004R trans.
got the Keystones on tonight, had to roll it out and get a good look. i have a long way to go, its going to be tough to wait to be able to drive her. gotta have patience ou:
I'm loving the pics, man, straight, rust free body panels is what it looks like to me, what a great foundation. Let's you and me try to get our 64's running before the clock strikes 2013, what ya say?
Welcome aboard! :beer You've got one of the best body styles ever built, but I'm somewhat biased. Nice to see a solid body with clean floor pans.:TU:
