    Been in the Buick game since the 80's and have owned,sold,and parted over 40 GS and Skylarks. Yesterday I found something out that shocked me a little. I have a spare body shell that may never see the road again,but I am keeping. The drip rail shelf is missing on the part that goes along the windshield. I was all set to buy a new replacement panel that's available but after looking at it,I found there was 3 screws that hold the lip piece on the car. I took one off the parts car and installed it on the body I'm keeping. I never knew they were able to take off..Guess you can teach an old dog a new trick afterall.. 20240325_161724.jpg 20240325_161931.jpg 20240325_163706.jpg

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    Yup, just on the A pillar. Too bad the rest of it is sandwiched between the roof skin and the skeleton.

    On the 73 A bodies, if the car had a vinyl top, that piece was textured to match the top.
