Thanks, we rather love it too and it's gonna be even better by spring!

As I’ve told you before Rich, I’m Buick through in through, I just love seeing positive progress on your 65.

Rich your Buick is beautiful. And you care for it. Like you do for all the cars you work on. Thank you for sharing!

The new stance is way better ...👌

Oh VERY much so! Parts on order to get the front suspension and steering dialed in... then maybe a bit more upgrade in the rear 🤔

Love the chop chop of that 455!

Best improvement I saw iny old Chevelle was a rear sway bar and a good set of shocks

@LucoreAuto

Those are both coming along with some new rear arms but will have to wait a bit, parts are expensive! The front suspension and arm are a HUGE improvement for corner and daily driving... making this thing less race car more street car :)

I installed the cargo springs in the rear of my gbody, along with a rear sway, which helped tremendously.

Cargo springs are definitely a great idea as well, something we use OFTEN in the 68-72 generation of A bodies. This one also likely will be getting a rear bar at some point but that's going to have to be with all new rear arms

When doing a drum to disc brake conversion, make sure your master cylinder is capable to operate the larger pistons in the new calipers. Also check your brake bias, due to drum brakes needing less fluid to operate than disc brake calipers.

I've got a '65 convertable myself, been wanting to replace the suspension, amoungst other things. Gr8 video.

Beautiful Buick, they don't make them like that anymore. nice Job

Part of why we love this era of cars they just have incredible styling and soul. That and big honking thumpy V8s ;)

Very cool Car, very cool nailhead, nice lope!

The 65 Buick reminds me of my 67 Fairlane GTA. The mid sixties we're the heyday for old classic full side muscle cars with big block power. Cool old car and great content Rich.

I wished I had my dad's 65 LeSabre, you talking about a road car, 355 Wildcat engine with ac!!

I never seen anyone remove a brake drum quite like that before? Next time put some safety glasses on😀. As far as your exhaust goes, that is nothing a little heat and bend can't take care of. Put your jack under it and wind it up to where you want the height and just warm the pipe up with a torch to relieve the tension!

dont forget to order ur back shocks as well Rich!!!!

That's coming in the somewhat near future as well. These rear arms aren't boxed and don't have the provisions for the rear bar so... probably going to upgrade those to add a rear bar

Cool Buick, I was watching a other video you were doing and looking at the Olds on the lift wondering what's up with that. Should've guessed it was yours, those are the two GM intermediates that I would have of the four that were on offer back then.

That exhaust sounds nice n nasty!

We're always happy with the nasty sounds out of these Pypes kits! This is the 3" kit with X Pipe but a more street friendly muffler, the yellow Pontiac runs their 2.5" kit with Violator mufflers

Well thanks for stopping by Dave glad you enjoyed and maybe learned or relearned a thing or two! Always nice to have a new face and name around here. There's always more stuff coming so keep watchin :)

Hellwig sway bar? They are great quality. Very pleased with them on my 71 Nova. If they have the option for your car, do the hollow ones. I also changed the sway bar end links to ones from Moog. Look up the chart online Moog has, to determine the length you want to match the ones the bar came with. K700529 is one part number to help you find the type. Also use the foam style bump stops like Bell Tech 4923 or Dorman 31064 which is for stock ride height.

Rich love your car and what you've done with it. You done see them as often and one as nice as yours is even rairer

Really good looking car. I like the way your going with the upgrades

I had a 65 Buick Gran Sport , it was a great car , I loved it .... but I was dumb enough to trade it in for a 68 Plymouth GTX.

Theres a PACER,baby blue with a wood side paint or who knows but its so clean and ready for a 401 or 390 etc,340,its in Hampton VA craigslist in auto section.Original 100% not thrashed,like grandmas car.

HOWdy LUCORE, Old BUICK - but not anyone's Grad-Father's BUICK Hard to be a SLEEPER with that Hood Scoop COOP ...

My uncle had a few different skylark's. He had a 62 light blue with white top. All aluminum engine. Then a green 65 like this one. Then he had a Midnight Blue 65 Wildcat GS with a later model 430bb. He took a 71 t37 Lemans back over a mountain one winter.

Sorry but you really need to ditch that hood scoop. 😂

455 engine if does that sucker will cook nice ride think they had the nail head thinking 431

Need to run em out past the bumper.

Sweet ride , much nicer than Austin’s cars 😂 jk I like the Pontiac and AMC too

From camera view it looks like one header is lower than the other.
