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

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

It's about time!! I've been slacking..:smoke:

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

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

No paint prison at LBR! :metal:

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

Wow! That paint is perfect

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

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

:waah:

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.

Lookin great

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

Don't turn around, oh, oh, Der Glossmeister's in town, oh, oh....

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

Very Nice

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

Very good progress! That finish is so smooth.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

Good choice on the color change. What color are you going with? Black or red would both look good.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

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. :smoke:

Looks so good.
Throw some Vintecs on that thing!

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

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

Thanks for dropping in Keith.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

Looks great!

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

This one has a red interior. I like the look.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

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!

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
 

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.
