You need a Healey......... like I need a Skylark.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

if i were a rich man, i would be on it like stink on shit...If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

You do need this Skylark. There's no way you could copy what I've done for what I'm asking for it....
Yes, I do need a Healey, but I don't see how the exchange would happen unless you're needing to make a really long driveDoing it all wrong since 1966Comment

With solid centerlines on it.... and no, I can't answer why the tire shop put the white letters to the outside.... ah well, at least they were cheap

Not bad at all - the white letters - well, sometimes you can't be too specific.There's always something new to learn.Comment

it's funny that this is exactly the car I would have built in high school - even with the solid centerlines.... I really need to get the front back down

Well, I'm just done. I finally pulled the motor from the Skylark to fix the leak and resolve the low oil pressure problem....
I cut the screen out - you can't see light through it... so I pulled the last main to get oil and found 2 problems
note the nice copper color? Also note how there's no rear main seal? It didn't leak before because it didn't have enough oil pressure, when it got enough oil pressure, it leaked.... ah well, at least I know
The shell is going to be sold. I'm not spending a dime on this Buick with the 50 waiting in the wings. I may just part the thing.... if it sells for $3500 I'll sell as is, any less... it has a 12 bolt with a locker and upgraded axle shafts, plus disk brakes... I can sell just that for enough coin to make the rest part out go quite well...
Then my bet will be either one or two things will happen. 1) some kid will come along and buy the shell and put it back together his way.... or 2) It'll be put out to pasture and I'll put it together someday....Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment
