I'm told this is the top of the fender. I hope it buffs out OK...





I'm sticking with blue, because I have all the stuff already. It would have to be gawd-awful for me to change it.

Thanks Mark! Your truck helped make the decision. Black is mighty tough to beat.

Well, the idea of sticking with blue lasted almost two whole weeks.



While it may have looked ok, I just felt like the car would look tons better with a different color interior, and now is the time to paint the interior with the windshield out.

Some additional pix from der Glossmeister....

I thought this one looked cool. The roof panel had been sanded, taking on a different shade, vinyl roof kind of look.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Good choice on the color change. What color are you going with? Black or red would both look good.

Black interior would the easiest by far because you don't have problems matching pieces. The seats I'm going to use are buckets from a 64 Impala SS.

The good news is that PUI will build the entire interior (except dash) all in the same material so red is a viable possibility, just a slight up charge. They are sending samples out, so I'll make a decision then. I'm leaning red.

Not buffed yet. It'll look better, Kyle promises.

Oh, I've got plans on different wheels for sure, along with an altitude adjustment.

Thanks for dropping in Keith.

Thanks for posting the vid. That red really looks good in there, and I've always been a fan of that combo, and then put some billets on there.... Mmmmmmm!

Out with the 301. It's already found a new home in a 65 Buick Special, which I really feel good about so more Buicks can get back on the road.
