Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
This car is Beautiful. Been having sellers remorse since I sold my 69GS, now every time I check up on this thread I go into Depression

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Check this out...
![]() ![]() Ruth is the first use of Kyle's new lift. Got the sway bar back on. Was kind of sweating that since the last time it was on, there was a different axle and brake set.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Nice! What coilover setup is that? Is it all ridetech stuff?

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Thanks Mark!
Duane, The coilover stuff is RideTech. Just brackets and coils on the rear -

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Cool, thanks for the info. Looking at doing that to my GTO. Curious how it rides. Could you let me know when you take her out for a spin?

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Will do. I would've used ordinary springs back there, but couldn't find any that would get the back down enough without resorting to bags. Everything I hear about RideTech has been good, so I'll be very surprised if it doesn't ride well.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Got the windshield and back glass in and some trim on. Some of the Vintage Air has been installed too.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I don't think the box in the trunk counts as installed
![]() I love that red interior. Ruth's looking good!

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I hope it doesn't get towed. It is in a designated "Chevrolet truck parking only" spot.
The red really looks good in the car. Can't wait to see it up and running!

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Kyle and I were staring at it some today. Ruth has really come a long way.
Hope to fire the LS this week. I picked up a new mass air flow sensor for it this week, along with some other things. Tomorrow, the brown truck is dropping off a bunch of stuff and that should break the log jam free. Kyle is fabbing up the exhaust today, doing a terrific job tucking it up out of the way.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Thanks John!
Kyle has begun the exhaust, would've finished if one muffler didn't bounce off the brown truck somewhere. ![]() I dropped off some moulding and he's starting to get that put on. ![]() Billet Specialties coil covers. Steering column shaft is in too. Starting to hook up the wiring harness, got it to crank today. Getting very close to first start. ![]()
