Buinicorn the 1964 Skylark wagon sleeper

[65RHDEER]

Now one of these covers off the Detroit and it gets rid of a lot of that boring concrete

I am Jealous of that Shop Building !!
Width x Largeness x Airplane Hangar Height !!!
Good Score, Dude !!
Too Bad we all could not have come over for The Christening Party.

If you want excuses, I have them. But no, not everything is inside.... sheesh, next you'll say I should do one project at a time....

AND NOW You Know WHY I am in the
12 Steps Program......
I'm NOT to Drag Any More Rusty Orphans Home !!!
I have been "Clean for 3 Years"
(Til I just Bought a Vintage Job Site Forklift, but That Was for Storm Damage)
I have TWO Buildings!!! And Projects Parked Outside!
But I am Just as Guilty of Multiple Projects going on !!
Like Dave's Messy Garage Post.......
You are tripping over parts, and have a mild "Restack" to work on the next one.......LOL

That driveway needs a Detroit Diesel powered off road semi tractor..

[65RHDEER]

It looks like you are trying to justify more sheding already, then again do we ever have enough

[SuperBuickGuy]

No excuse not to. It's like an acre in there.

Nice - Do you have everything inside?

[SuperBuickGuy]

so it's been 6 weeks.... it's been a dry 6 weeks for the Skylark

[SuperBuickGuy]

screwed together for its ride across the State.



and a new chariot for such rides (though not this time)

8x16 which is basically the size of my open trailer.... the move is a good excuse to buy it, but it was killing me the damage the Corvette was suffering riding in the open.

[SuperBuickGuy]

temp it together


stacking stuff - this won't be a problem in a couple weeks.... new shop

[SuperBuickGuy]

time to set the body on, again

fun fun

now to figure out where to blend them together

[SuperBuickGuy]

never think the fender is perfect... it is not


I hate doing it, but I'm going to break it down to several components - which means spot weld drilling -

mostly because it's easier to fix the dents as a single panel - however, the lower lip is really thin - so where I'm drilling out the spot welds will be replaced....

it's remarkable that it was filled with Idaho dirt but not rusted out

[SuperBuickGuy]

well, 1200 miles, 3 days and a few new things

we have a new terrorist... cute little bugger, though
the quarter in its wavy glory

amazing how little effort can really make it a lot better

just a push

also a push here

I'm going to pull the skin off but I want to do the fixes while it's still in its 'jig' also have a bit of sill rust repair....

should get the car back in the shop tomorrow night

oh and the other thing, we're moving in 3 weeks 250 miles away... that said, it's an amazing new shop

[SuperBuickGuy]

and

and for those wondering, one strap to hold it on, 3 to keep from getting stopped

not as great as I'd hoped, but 1/3 more then what I have now
