Project SSS (SuperSonic Skylark)
1970 Buick Skylark to become GSX replica with 2011 Corvette SuperSonic blue paint and matte and semi-gloss black accents along with newly acquired 19X10.5 and 18X8 ZX3R's from Frank @ Prodigy will make this one sinister looking Buick. 500+HP 455, TKO-600, Moser 9", ridetech air suspension and SpeedTech swaybars, Wilwoods ain't bad either. Hope to have painted in the next couple weeks.

Frank @ Prodigy Customs gets the credit for the wheel set-up. This should be one killer looking ride when I'm finished.

Been a while since I updated. Super busy in the shop. Paint is finished except for the hood which will be satin black. The car looks evil finished in PPG Flex n Flat satin clear. Plumbing and brake lines are done, next up is glass weatherstrip, interior and exhaust. Getting closer!

Damn. From one A body owner to another- that looks ****ing sweet man. Can you fill me in on what tire and sizes that is in? What width rims are they? Is that radiator core support cap (on top of the radiator) a one off piece?

Nice job on the paint. I like it that you used some old school iron for the motor.
Big dreams, small pockets....
