Hello Everyone Randy here
I live almost on top of the Illinois/Wisconsin border and have been friends with Jon for many years. I am currently assembling a 401 engine  that will go into my 65 post Skylark. I bought it about 17 years ago and I am currently updating this car to give the car some "old school" appeal. I have gained a lot of experience restoring these two cars.  I also have a 65 Skylark Convertible Black with Red Metallic interior that is finally in pretty good shape. If it weren't for the a lot of help from guys like Jon T this car may never of got to this stage.

Thanks for your time, Randy



Randy

So many Skylarks, so little time!

Welcome Randy. We are a friendly and helpful group. Sounds like you will not be needing lots of help though. Love that black with red interior combination.
