Buinicorn the 1964 Skylark wagon sleeper

everything tightened up

prying this off.... roofing tar.... love it

put new suspension bolts in


it looks exactly like it did before....

At least it doesn't look worse !

time to keep taking parts off... door panels

patterns for the new door panels

and very rusty heater box

I will get the mouse smell out

I'm waiting for a couple parts - one of which won't be here until Monday... so my goal for the rest of this week is get the brake lines done on the C3, bolt the body on, then see if I can make it run.... it would be a big help if I could move both of the projects around by simply turning a key....

got some stuff progressed

steering

I bought a knock-off borgeson joint and then cut the ends off the collapsable portion of the quick ratio box

I cut the steering shaft long, then flattened two sides so it'd slip together

and welded it to the column shaft


then brakes

what a pain to get to this point

screwed the brake lines in

finally found the correct arm... and only the left is readily available... so waiting again for the other side


the front is nearly done.... tighten a few more bolts, all the cotter keys in place


rear isn't that far but now I wait for something to get here from PA.
I certainly have plenty of other things to do and now if I need, I can roll it out

I got the parts, so tomorrow the puzzle should be complete and I'll have brakes.

I also verified that I have a 'spare' turbo350 trans from my other Skylark - I may use it just to make this move. it's going to be a choice either make the turbo motor run on a MS3x or simply slap a carb on a 455.... both have benefits and down sides.... but since I know the 200r4 is a $3000 rebuild cost, dividing the spend is a good thing....

and I'm probably just going to send my liquid cooled visa and my 200r4 to Art Carr... but dividing the wallet pain for after I get this painted and mobile is a good thing.
