    Help identify part of 62 skylark?

    I've been looking for the rear brake lenses for right and left sides. I've been looking for these everywhere. Mine aren't cracked but are sunbeaten. This is for my 62 skylark. Unfortunately nobody repoduces them.

    1962 Skylark Master Cylinder

    Hello, I posted about how to custom make a system to morph my 62 into a power brake car. For the most part I gave up on that idea.

    1962 Skylark

    hmm makes me wonder now, my 62 Skylark dosent have a shroud either. Just that protective curved metal piece, Im assuming that its to protect you fingers ..... My theory is and has always been that since the car has dummy lights on the dash I added a small tempreture gauage. Its not one of...

    In todays horrific economy .....

    Heres a man whose going to set his own car on fire to try to save his house from being foreclosed on by the bank. I find this both sad and somehow humorous at the same time. Dont know if its a scam or not. http://jmetropolis.blogspot.com/2010/07/help-save-maxi-pad.html?ferris
