wow you have a nice big working space now we know why you are making such fast progress... you don't have to move "Other stuff" around your one car garage to work on your indian.

 

Ya done great and thanx for your service!!

 

A real classic look to the car and your workmanship speaks for itself.

I have always thought the era of the fat fender cars was one of the best and they just have a real classic mean look to them.

The hood emblem is killer and always has been.

I don't think I ever found anyone in my truck that pretty !!!!!!!!!!

Great job and thanks for sharing all the great photo's with us.

Thanks for all the build photos. Looking good!

 

Thanks. @loudbang lol I was fortunate to have a buddy let me do some of the work in his shop. I pulled the engine in my front yard. Did all all the pressure cleaning and POR15 application in my driveway. (Btw, don't ever get it on your skin trust me)

Lookin' good Tony . . . The Poncho too!

 

This weekend I got all the brakes re plumbed after we relocated the power master under the floorboard. I also cut a hole for the drive shaft to clear and the pumpkin.

 

With a little lube, the engine is in

 

Where did you get the light for the hood ornament? The socket in mine is rusted out.

 

I made a tunnel for the drive shaft

 

it came with the car. I would check ebay or www.pontiacparts.net

 

Floor is done time for insulation

The top is my original speedo bezel. I scored a bezel off a silver streak from eBay. I polished it. I bought a set of auto meter ad gauges to give them a clean look

 

It almost fits

With some careful shaving, they all fit

I polished the plastic, repainted Tha black background, modified my original speedo to fit
