Totally fake yet enjoyable reverse restoration of what I wish I had as a wee lad.Current plan is to drive anywhere I damn well please,burn rubber & repeat OFTEN! Best 60' time to date 48 minutes with family and pets push/pulling.
Purchased a “street sleeper” big block Skylark. Trying to make it an ornery cruiser. Switch from drag setup to more of a cruiser style while keeping the rowdy motor and possibly adding fuel injection on it (Holley Sniper?)

Getting it torn down and starting to cut out all the frame rot. I'll post up the progress as it comes in. Got the stock rear axle modded up with the wilwood dynapro calipers and rotors Got the Edelbrock heads and intake snugged down today. The CVF serpentine system is also all buttoned up. I had to grind down a cheap 19mm socket to tighten down the head studs from ARP. The provision that's milled on the far ends of the heads (4 in total) wouldn't take a thin-walled 3/4 inch socket....
Mostly original. My first stage will be to just make minor improvements (I've already color correct as best I can and waxed) I may eventually move to a repaint. Just added some whitewalls!

Don't let this old beater fool you. This is a daily driven Buick powered rat rod that I use for commuting, working, and towing.
