Everybody post some pictures!

[wildcat65]

Very soon I will post some pictures of some progress!
How about everybody just go out to the garage with the camera and
show some 65 skin!   I'm going to roll my car into the "work area" and
then get crankin' on a engine install.

Here's the latest of my 66 GS project. I didn't get it completed for Yardley's Buick picnic on May 2nd (it rained anyway), but I could have it together in a week if I really tried!


The front end sheetmetal will get a good cleaning, then I'll decide if it will get stripped and repainted. I am SOOO glad the winter is finally over.....now if it would just stop raining!

In the background is my 66 Special and my John Deere 425. ;D

Here's a picture our Danish member sent me. Love that car cover for his 65 GS.

I don't know about that cover dude. There's alot of people that have a real problem with that.

[dsags]

Really ? What's the problem ? It's not a real flag. Its just an american car with a car cover. Absolutely no insult intended.

Actually I think it's cool that he's honoring his American car built with American metal and American hands with an American flag. 

Come on.. in all seriousness, It's not a real flag, it's a car cover.  People wear shirts and everything else with the flag on them and as long as it's in good taste, it shows pride in being an American which I'm sure that's exactly what our friend is doing is taking pride and showing others in his country that his baby is an all American girl.

Is it more of an insult to live in America and drive a car made in another country with all of the US autoworkers out of a job right now?

I found no disrespect at all personally and I welcome anyone honoring American pride no matter where they are from.

Hi Guys, It is my ?65 sitting under that cover and I can assure you that the reason why I use this cover is that I am very proud of my Buicks and the fact that they are built in the USA, they are what I call real cars. If I could choose another place to live it would be over there. I have one for my ?68 GS too and I have the most respect for your flag. Jan

Actually I forgot to mention that these covers are produced in the states ;)and bought there.

[Joe65SkylarkGS]

No douby they look cool, i'm just saying alot of veterans dislike that use of the flag.

I liked them myself when they first hit the scene.

I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to post a picture--can someone explain to me how to do it on this site?  It isn't obvious like on other sites.

Brian,

Right below the "Message" box where you're typing, there is "Additional Options". Click on the arrow. The rest will be easy...

Here is the car I parted over the winter.  Loren has the chasis and drivetrain now.

[Mark Ascher]

I need to update my restoration thread. It's way out of date, going back to October of '08 I think. This week will be impossible to do so. I'm also buying Adobe CS3. When Melissa lost her job in December, Photoshop went bye bye too, so I haven't had a way at home to work with images at all.

Brian, make sure you get those cars in the registry.

Loren has the firewall and VIN tag off of it, so you will have to get him to register that one.  None of the other cars I have parted over the years have been GS's---they were all skylarks and specials.
