1962 Red Skylark Convertible

Been a few weeks since I posted pics. Still moving along here.

Took transmission in to be inspected. Needed clutch replaced. All cleaned up and ready to go now.

Hoppy looks like you have all the typical rust areas for these convertibles. Just keep at it, takes a while to get it all down to bare metal but will be worth it in the end. How did your engine turn out?

I should be getting the engine block, crank and heads back this week. We bored the block and turned the crank. I have been looking for one head as one of my original heads had a couple seats that were in pretty bad shape along with a fair amount of pitting. I found a replacement head. I had them cleaned up and will be picking them up at the same time when I pick up the block and crank. Looking forward to reassembling the engine.

I'm interested in what you will do to the oil pump and its lower pressure it provides for any upgrades.

Getting engine pieces back from the shop and parts in to start rebuilding

Removed the door window assemblies. Have some issues with the guide it looks like with plenty of rust.

Started working on the hood and trunk lid as well.

Been a while since I added pictures. I haven't been able to put much work in since March due to family activities. But weekends are freeing up now and getting going again.

Taking seats to have new upholstery added and cleaning up the seat frames.

I have a lot of updates.  Didn't realize it had been a year since I posted status of my project.  Have fun looking at the updates.
