"Fly Low" 1964 Buick Skylark revival

[tim222]

Here is the story behind this project, my 1964 Buick Skylark:

The Buick had lived "version 1" of its life as a family car until the factory engine gave up and the car was retired "out back".
My Grandpa found it while looking for a car for my Mom to use while she went back to college.
So he bought it and installed a replacement buick 300 and had a family friend repaint in the original 2 tone paint scheme.
The car came back from paint 2 weeks later with the base-coat only and the clear was still in the trunk "you can put that on" he said...
This would be "version 2" of the Buicks life, Mom put on about 100k in the 5 years she drove it until her new job in real estate dictated she upgrade to a newer car.

At this time I was a senior in high school and it was a perfect candidate for me to hot rod, the year was 1992.

This is what she looked like when I negotiated a deal and bought it from my Mom:
