Update: I've added a new page for the sub box that I've built. Tell me what you think.

A car I'd love to own is either a '69-'72 Buick GSX (Skylark Based), or '69-'72 Oldsmobile

Cutlass 442
More Specific a 1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1, or the 1972 442 with a '68 455 Hurst/olds

Engine.

Results of the Polls:
Again a tie this time between the '77 Lark, and the '77 Cutty Supreme.

4 way tie with the GS, 442, Chevelle, and Dart. No go for the regular Lark.

I own a website about the front wheel X-Cars from 1980 to 1985. The site is www.chevycitationforever.net. has information about swaps to technical information and has a forum and online repair manuals. Go check it out... Sly

Thought you might be interested to know that in 1981, a French company called Esdo made a 1:43 scale model of the Buick Skylark 4-door. They also made the 1981 Oldsmobile Omega in a 4-door and 2-door version. The models were made of resin and white-metal and were sold as kits. Here are some photos: http://ourworld.cs.com/John%20arnold/EsdoBuick1.jpg http://ourworld.cs.com/John%20arnold/EsdoBuick2.jpg http://ourworld.cs.com/John%20arnold/EsdoBuick3.jpg http://ourworld.cs.com/John%20arnold/EsdoOldsmobile1.jpg I am currently auctioning one on eBay.

A belated Welcome to the Domain :) Sharp looking 'Lark. I had an '82 coupe till my boss killed it with a forklift. They make adapters to hang 6"x9"s where 4"x10"s go. Might wanna check those out. The way you have 'em hung flush like that might make the speaker cone slap against the underside of the package shelf when the surround flexes as the speaker makes bass. Not so great for speaker longevity. I'm not trying to flame, mind you....just a suggestion. Other than that the system looks slammin. Glad you've had good luck with the lil car. I was kinda diggin in my '82....it drove pretty good considering what it was. Get those rear struts changed to get that sag out before it starts making your car eat rear tires real bad! If ya get some more pix posted lemme know so I can have a look. When ya get some time to burn check out the ole beater I've been trying to make a bit nicer. Peace ~
