Helping a neglected '72 Skylark

[MosportGreen66]

Hi Guys,

My brother and were hired to come to the aid of this poor '72 Skylark. Original owner car, female owner and very proud of her car. Was painted about 15 years ago. A true northeast body with some rust issues. When we got the car it had faded paint, a stained interior, was running poorly with fouled plugs and wires. Changed all the fluids, changed the intake gasket, added some NGK plugs and wires, rid the engine compartment of the heavy grime, installed some new KYB shocks, and topped off the job with a nice set of BFGs.

Here are some pictures of the work.

Day 1:




50/50 shot of the mold removal on the canvas top




looking whiter now


Back to the body. After 3M clay and lube




More to come...
