Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Long time with no update, but things will start moving along again now.
The seats have been re-covered and all the panels are ready for install  Kyle had paint matched to the interior and sprayed the exposed metal in the interior.  Test fit the interior   The glass will be going in this week.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Glass goes on, shifter gets placed on floor from column, PCM gets its home under the seat, Vintage Air goes under dash, front fenders get placed for the final time.
I dropped off pot metal pieces to get rechromed. Boy, it's tough to find places that want to mess with it I've got to make decision on wheels soon and get those on orde.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
So I finally found this thread. Was reading your latest on Short Changed and came across your statement of Ruth and respray, clicked the link in your sig and DAAAAAAAYUMMM!!! That's one nice Skylark you've got! Weird how the clear lifted after a rain storm though. I guess it all worked out since now you've got an LS and black/red combo. Looks great!
I feel like I just watched a show that ended with "to be continued..."
