Hey, well i posted this on a car site i frequent but i thought maybe some people here would be interested in this too, i copied what i wrote on the other site to save time:
Posted on Thursday
My friends dads birthday is coming up in June, so as a favor we set up something cool for him. What were going to do is on saturday after they left for mexico on vacation, were going to "steal" his 1970 Buick Skylark, then the fun begins When they get back they will obviously call the police to report it, to take care of this, my dad (whos a cop) will take the call as a "personal Favor". Meanwhile my other friends dad (Greg) has his own autobody shop and is going to fix it from head to toe, and give it a custom paint job for free. His son sells rims so he's gunna get us some rims for the car at cost, so this whole thing will cost very little. Then to top it off, when Dave (the victim) goes to the monthly car shoe at the local rec-center, Greg is getting one of his friends to drive the car in and enter it in the show. Midway through the show they will reveal it all to Dave. This is gunna be fun.
Updated today:
Stopped down at gregs shop today to see whats going on, they havn't started anything yet but i did get a few before pictures. While im sorting through the pictures i made this, my video camera battery died so no actual video. I used the burst on my camera to put together a stop motion animation of a burnout. Love the sound of that car lol And btw, it is a 69 skylark not a 70 like i thought.
I hope it loads ok, its not very small:

Also we just found out that Greg has offered to completely redo the interior as well so that should be cool. As this is a project being done out of the goodness of some peoples hearts the engine will remain as is except it will be cleaned nicely, greg says he may try to do some things to it if he can get some good deals. Next week is the tear down and body work, ill keep yall posted. Ill try to get some video's up too perhaps. Hopeing to reveal this on Fathers day.
P.S. If anyone mods are able too, please rename this thread to include a warning for 56ker's I wasn't planning on loading pictures when i started this thread.
