This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Skylark parts for sale...

    pechetr 1967 Skylark

    I have a 1971 buick skylark that is 100% complete. The rear quarters,inners and front fenders are totally rusted out. I think it will cost more to repair them than the care is worth. The engine is a 350 2bbl all original and running.Blue interior is nearly immaculate. There are no cracks or fading at all in the interior. Even the windshield is perfect. I have all the chrome and emblems as well. I am curious as to whether anyone thinks I should part it out, or if it is worth restoring? Oh and the car is in Alberta, Canada.

    in my opinion

    In my opinion from the sounds of it I would part it out unless you have another car that you can use the good parts in. Needing basically all 4 corners replaced is a big task and big money even if you do it all yourself. Unless you've found out it's something special like a stage 1 GS or GSX I would either look for another body and use this as a donor or part it out.

    I am waiting for an estimate to do the body,and will decide from there. I think however you may be right. It is just a plain skylark, no AC, or even front disc brakes. The crome is amazing though and I just got a new metal grille off of ebay. I also have a couple of original GS grille emblems.....

    What is the status of this one? I have not heard back from you if the other guy took the car? I stil am anxious for the items I wanted off of it.
    If you could let me know I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks
