    Hi Everybody,

    I just picked up a 72 Skylark with a 455, TH400, and 4.10 posi rear. I was sent over here by the guys on camaros.net. I have some pics at http://www.geocities.com/dan636/buick.html
    Sorry for the popups. The pics are bigger and you can use View Image (Netscape) to see full size. I'm not sure what the equivalent command in IE is.

    First order of business on the car will be updating the brakes and suspension. The car has 4 wheel power drums and original springs. I'd like to go to front discs and I was told that any A-body from 70-72 will bolt up. Also some non A-bodies (like Monte Carlo) should work. Is there anything I should be looking out for? I have browsed the brake forum and there's lots to read.

    Well, thanks for any help. I'm sure I'll be posting here pretty often!

    Thanks guys. I'm sure I'll have lots of fun. I need to be careful, though, I haven't had a speeding ticket in three years and Colorado's point system is pretty crappy. I used to live in Texas where you could get one ticket dismissed from your record a year if you took a class or payed extra money.
