hey make sure the bumpers are good, I had little old lady '72 a few years ago..unless things have changed recently trying to find bumpers is like trying to find L-78 chicken lip air cleaners ,the rubber guard is usually toast and not ropopped, if your rechroming. I had to buy a car to get at just the bumpers

ask around at the V-8 buick site on what that car needs before buying it, just some friendly advice not easy playing with buicks, cool cars but man a PITA to get stuff.

Jim, we found a very cheap -72 Skylark convertible but will still consider other options.
I assume the body on the Chevelle is good ? How about the engine/trans/rear, has anything been done to the drivetrain ? Is the car in pieces right now ? Any pics ?
