Buinicorn the 1964 Skylark wagon sleeper

[DirtyWhiteBoy]

OUCH!!!

I hate when that happens. I'm glad your helper is OK. My helpers are generally not not very helpful

[SuperBuickGuy]

back to work


then this happened

*ducks!!!*
in looking around, I realized I needed to remove these

because it was full of sand and debris....


thankfully, my helper wasn't hurt


I really need to find another wagon or quarter.... I can fix it, but I think I'll do some calling around tomorrow and see if I can find something

parting shop shot

[SuperBuickGuy]

ugh, I don't like undercarriages
however, it needed a full wire-wheeling plus washing... so that's what it got....

New vette?
Thought your’s was black.

I wish this was mine... it's pretty cool

spinny time

[silver_bullet]

I like the variety of projects!

[SuperBuickGuy]

I know, I know, I should go back to Corvette only content.... but alas, you need to suffer to really appreciate C3 content.
time to set the car in place

front brackets

assembled

in the back, I'll use the hinge mounts to hold it

welded

it even holds on the back

[SuperBuickGuy]

tonight was planning, mostly... I really don't want to work on this upside down

so I dug out my rotisserie and got to planning


then there was puppy play time.... Luigi's brother came for a fully puppy play date, complete with a full mudding...
That's Luigi, he's almost white when not covered in mud

but fun was had by all

This shot lets me see how cool this longroof is going to be.

[SuperBuickGuy]

time to make the safety experts cringe

the goal here is get the sand out (more of the sand), and get the grease off the underside.... this is round 1


also do a bit of spot rust treatment

can't see the difference but a lot better

while the frame waits for remarriage

[SuperBuickGuy]

Nothing to see here, just some old guy in some old Buick wagon....

[DanStokes]

Me too! (see above.....)

[Monster]

I love this project !

[SuperBuickGuy]

for the next week or so, this gets front burner... I've got to get the floor painted so I can mount the body to the frame....
first, remove harness

remove frame

put on Corvette dolly


I also really need to start planning the details... things like power windows and such.... I think I have most of what I need to make it mobile.... but no gauges - if what I use needs dash mods, now would be a pretty good time to do it.... and on and on... very comfortable, fast, fast, car... one I could race if the vehicle I'm towing becomes incapacitated....
