I just brought home a 1949 pontiac 2 door, it will be my first rod. I found this website googling pontiacs, and found Flop's chop thread, wow! This site(community) is awesome, I now have so many ideas and tips on what to do. I have been on the site for a week or two just reading and looking at pics. My car needs lots of work, but I think I have most of the og parts less the motor, tranny and front clip. The guy before me put a camaro front clip on it, and I have boxes of parts that I need to sort through. I would post a pic but I can't figure it out yet.
Cool. looks like a hefty project. Where in Utah are ya? I grew up in Ogden.Miss that place.... Wait.... No I don't. Welcome.
NICE!! Hard to tell from the picture. You out around North Ogden or Harrisville. Looks like maybe so with the field in the background. I still have a brother in Ogden. You know the Burkdolls?
Don't know the Burkdolls, the picture is in farr west by walquist jr. high. Good guess, I graduated from ogden high in 98
Stop by Autobody express. They are right out there on old North Highway 89. They have a great hot rod shop, and B.J. and his pops are top notch fabricators and painters. They are also legends of Bonneville and specialize in the MFG. of streamliner bodies. If ya stop in then Tell B.J. Nate said HI. I graduated B.L. in 94 .......Tigers suck! Do they still gas the letters in the fields during H.C. week? Just funnin with ya.
Welcome from another UT HAMBer. Good luck with the project. Those can be cool little cars. Also sent you an invite to the Utah HAMBers group.
Thanks man, lots of work to go. I went to school down there for a minute. Hard to go to school when your 17 and far from home with lots of partying going on.
Boss lookin' coupe. Welcome aboard. This is a really Happenin' site. If you ever need it, I'm sure you'll be able to find all the advice and help you could handle 'round here.
Welcome to the HAMB from a fellow Ogdenite. flatblack- one day when I was at BJ's I said hi for you but couldn't remember your real name.
welcome from Oregon coast..I lived in west jordan years ago, worked as a truck mechanic at England trucking in S.L.C. missed Oregon and moved back, not enough green trees!
Thanks. Its been awhile since I have been back. I left 11 years ago. I went to high school with BJ back in the early 90's. I lived near him off of Simoron, Between 7th & 9th above B.L. high school. I remember hanging out at his house working on his old corvair with him and trying to fit in the pink flame streamliner the used to run. Is he still working on the Chevy Sedan? That is one bad ass car. Anyhow if you see him again tell him Nate B. says hi.
Cool, I'm in north ogden by kirks drive in. I think they do something on the weekends in the summer with rods. It could just be peolpe hangin out, I don't know for sure I just have seen a bunch there before.
Looks like what I started with. Lots of work but also lot of fun. Good luck with the project and welcome to the board.
I just moved from the top of 6th street last year about one house down from Simeron. That was a nice little area with my new mortgage kind of wish I would have stayed, oh yah, one car garage. Small world
