Title work is done so it's time to go to work.

I'm taking a break from the body work for a while and have been working on the drive train. I have the engine installed on the frame, coated the exhaust manifolds with POR 15, Mounted a cross flow radiator and built a shroud. Also plumbed new hard lines for the vacuum modulator and choke heater. I hot wired it so I can run it a while and check for leaks.

That really looks great, nice work!

Dear EZ Cool, Jim, and fans of "radiant engines,"

Great job! 

Just one littl' thing wrong with it . . . .

Your engine needs even more chrome!!! . . . . .

Cheers, Edouard

Just the oil breather and plug wire standoffs.
The twist-on breather is repo'd. CARS
As are the plug wire standoffs.... Russ Martin , www.nailheadbuick.com

An upper molded rad hose should fit, either a repo GS one or the Gates 20704.

Great to see the progress!!

[EZ Cool]

 Thanks for the reply. I looked that number up and it looks right. I'll give it a try.

I’ve made quite a bit of progress in the last few months. Haven’t taken the time to post any pics. Here’s how she looks now.

Dear EZ Cool and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Yes indeed that's a lot of great progress!!

. . . Although before you offer to take anyone on a ride maybe you should replace the passenger door handle!! . . . .

Cheers, Edouard

EZ cool - did you go with Shell Beige? That was my Skylark's original color.

That?s really coming together, looks great!

Yes shell beige it is. Letting the wife pick the colors on this one and she saw a cameo Beige 1966 Impala at a car show a while back and liked the color. Luckily it’s the same code as the Shell Beige.
What were the interior colors of your Beige Lark? Carpet seats and headliner?

Thanks Jim!

Wow, car looks great! I like the 15" Buick mags and big tires..... gives an aggressive look.
A saddle interior color would look real nice in that car. Black would too, but black is so, I don't know..... colorless?

Saddle is what we’ve been looking at. What color headliner looks good with it?

[GS66]

My 66 project car has a fawn or dove interior and the headliner and sun visors are white. That or saddle would go well with the beige. My car was Saddle Mist.

Well as I found out recently the interior was not gold.
The interior vinyl was 'fawn'. The cloth on the seats was an off-white color. The carpet was brown.
