Rich's Buick GS Rear drum brakes need fixin!

This is a car you probably haven't seen around the channel much but Rich's 1965 Buick Skylark "Gran Sport" clone is one beautiful fun machine, unfortunately it's had some braking issues from someone previously doing some... questionable repairs. So Rich is tearing into the rear drum brakes to do a little fixin.

That is likely a hot spot in the drum.

I agree, they definitely need a dual master and front disc at the minimum.

Rich, I just love the cars of the 50's and 60's! I own 7 classic's myself.

[@davidgough1161]

The rear profile is the best and there there is no better sound than a big block nailhead with a good cam. I would bet is is a dream to drive!

[@Sabe53]

It's not a nailhead.

Howdy LUCORE Thanks COOP ...

U love your car, I have to a 1966 special that I am trying to restomod, which is costing a small fortune. The 66 hodds and trunks are exclusive, as well as the 1967, it to was exclusive to 67., Not sure about the 65, but good luck with finding a replacement, and pray no one destroys your car in a wreck.

Buick stylists were great about maintaining family resemblance across the various models. Pole Barn Garage is swapping a Pontiac 455 into a Skylark hooptie for the duct tape drages. He may have a salvageable hood to trade.

Looks great Rich. As a fellow Buick guy, i bet the buick stage 2 reproduction hood scoop would look great on the hood you have. TA performance has them.

[@DougScriver]

I have the 65gs convertible 401 love that

[@pauldhiman8369]

Awesome buick but that hood is hideous rich😊💪🏽

[@LucoreAuto]

She's a fun ride for sure, we are working on a hood solution ;)

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎 !

Even mechanics cars need maintenance!

[@richardlucore6813]

Most mechanics cars are especially in need of maintenance. We have a tendency to be tired after fixing everyone else's stuff. Our vehicles tend to get kicked down the line.
