65 Skylark & GS Parts Sources
« on: March 22, 2015, 09:36:03 AM »
Started a list of parts & suppliers making & selling parts for 65 Skylark & GS some time back, but never completed it. This thread is for adding to the knowledge. Detailed information from past threads can be used to update this, so if you search and find something useful, post here.

I need to sort through my receipts for additional parts plus part numbers. There is also an Excel doc that has been created by Tony (tsollazo) with all hardware & rubber bumpers listed available from AMK. Hope to be posting that here soon.

Priceless...I never expected the parts source Odyssey for a 65 car that I did. Mark and the group on this site are amazing.

As Mark mentioned, I'm the one putting together a full fastener list based on AMK. AMK has 90+% of the fasteners for this car. That is in form of thread, length, head, etc. measurements. In some instances the head markings aren't identical but I don't believe they were from plant to plant anyway? :dontknow:

Because I'm on the OCD side, I want to make a complete and thorough list validated through the re-assembly of the car, which we are doing over the next month to 6 weeks.

As a result we should have a complete "kit" from AMK....including the hardware that AMK doesn't have a match for....which you'll need to blast and re-plate, paint, etc.

Stay Tuned!

Tony
