There's no question I've got a LOT of great things out of being in
BAMA: tons of help with my car, a whole bunch of "car" events and day's out, and some very sore upper arms after the biannual Kart races. But of course the best thing by far is all the fantastic friends I've made while doing "car stuff."
One of the many perks of being in the "LS clan" is that rounding up a a crew for a day's blast on somebody's project is only ever a few quick phone calls away. And, apart from being highly productive, a day spent wrenching on a car is one of the things we all enjoy the most. This time around it was over to my friend Dave's house to tear apart his '66 Buick Skylark convertible. Basically the plan was to pull the drive line and suspension.....and we just about managed it. The plan is for the car to be back running again by "the Summer." We'll see how that goes....

That food looks mighty tasty! So which one of the guys is your pretty mug? Amazing how much you can get done in a day with many hands. So is this Skylark going back together stock or "upgraded"?
ReplyDeleteI'm on the left of the third pic from the top, wearing the blue hat...and it's going to be an "upgrade" of sorts that hopefully drives a bit better than the original - the suspension was shot for a start...
DeleteThey had an Engine Pulling Menu? How awesome is that. Sweet car too.
ReplyDeleteA lot more effort (and a hell of a lot more thought...) went into the cooking. It really was awesome :)
