Dear mid-60s Buick lovers of da' Nailhead,

Russ and his team at Centerville Auto Repair are announcing a reproduction Nailhead oil pan on eBay:

It is also listed on their website with this picture:

I don't know how new this oil pan actually is, but it certainly is a very nice looking reproduction.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Sure is a beauty!
I think it came out at least 5 years ago.... Russ was talking about it on the (now defunct) Yahoo Nailhead forum.
Does the 65-66 Skylark GS have clearance issues at the crossmember? The stock oil pans do have some indentations in that area.

Makes one think about installing the Nailhead upside down, just so you can admire the beauty of that thing!

(but figure their might be a mechanical issue or three to overcome...)  :tongue3:
