Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Yep - Code F Blue Mist Poly (Marina Blue).
Not my first choice, but it's the original color. https://www.carpaintonline.com/charts/Bui1966-1.jpg |

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I'm a big fan of Buicks. One of the best cars I ever owned was a 1-owner 1967 Riviera GS with 60K miles on it. Nearly flawless, an absolute unmolested time capsule. I loved that car and think about it often.
I had a lapse of judgement and sold it to a guy who had been hounding me to sell it for a long time. I have always thought that the '66-'67 Skylarks are some of the most beautiful, under-appreciated cars of the mid-60s. The styling was first-class, and their interiors were always nicer than the other A-bodys from Chevy, Pontiac, and Olds. And I love the back window and roof sails. That is, unless you have to put a rear window into one or have to do rust repair back there!! |
Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I finished up Ruth's Spring update. Installed the front and rear sways, rear springs, rear shocks. Spruced up the engine compartment a bit during the radiator install. Pix...

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Thanks, Kyle. Had to before someone smoked me out. :smoke:
I am surprised at how high the rear is. With one inch lowering springs it's still at the stock height. I haven't changed the front springs or shocks yet because I want to drive her for a while before I tear the front end all apart and install the front disks and the rest of the stuff. http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...ps62d66e6b.jpg |
