    Well,
    tonight I finally got to put the 70 Skylark put back on the replacement frame.With a little work,its sitting down on the frame that was formerly under my 70 GS car that was just too far gone to fix.I had previously painted the frame and it now has my 462 motor on it too.Plans are to get it squared up and bolted fast then put a 350 motor in it(but that 462 sure looks good in there).I am hoping to have this car running and maybe even road worthy by end of the summer.Time will tell though.As of now the 71 will have to be put on the back burner till I get this one running.The way the gas prices are lately,I wont be able to run the rippin 350 anyways.So this one will get 2.56 posi gears in it and hopefully get at least 18-20 mpg.It will remain Bamboo cream and Iplan on putting a dark brown top on it and a saddle interior.Maybe,I'll even put a set of 14" ralleys that I have on it too.Sorry,I was not smart enough to get pics of it off the frame or when I put it on tonight.I will get some and post them soon to show my progress.

    Sounds like your making progress Pat. Hope to hear you're driving one of your Buicks by the end of the summer as you plan! :TU:
