1950.

 

I HATE IT.....

NOW hand it over and no one will get hurt !

Woops ,That sounded like a car jacking............

Good looking car just as it sits...Enjoy ,have fun and keep us posted on the upgrades........

Welcome to the HAMB..........

 

i started with a 72 Dart *******, loved that car, and now and forever with the dubz.
have a look

BOY......

You scared me their ,I thought you was talking about the BIG WHEELS

 

With those pics it's really easy to pick out the differences between the Canadian and the U.S models. It seems the Canadian Pontiacs got the Chevrolet rear end, and the front fenders on the Canadian cars are not perfectly round. Intersting, thanks for helping me clarify a few things...

 

Cool ride!

 

Lookin good! Don't see to many of them around. I'm with 40standard-What do you plan on doing with it?

 

Ive got a 52 2 dr HT 305 hp / 350th. Nice cars, but I gotta get back to the trucks

 

i hattttttttttte pontiacs!!!!






haha cool car man. seein the light at the end of the tunnel on my 50 pontiac

 

Thanks Jim, some of it fits in here and some of it doesn't. I lurked around here picking up ideas for quite a bit before deciding what I wanted to do with it. Don't be afraid to listen to other's opinion's, but at the end of the day build what YOU want. You're the one drivin' it...

 

what are you using for a fuel pump?

 

Right now it's got a Racepump, on an SBC, on it for frame clearance, but I have big problems during hot summer days with vaporlocking, even with a return line run. It's a good concept for a pump, I just hate it when the car died in slow moving traffic on me. It's getting an electric from Aeromotive come springtime.

Are you thinking of a V8 swap and such?

 

Welcome, Its great to see another Pontiac owner on here.

 

beautiful car. hope you keep it pont. lowered chrome reverse? stock paint. tripower 400 adapt to stock trans? if it's a 3 spd. anyway beautiful car.vaya con DIOS!

Welcome. Always happy to have another Pontiac owner around.

pic of my 65 volks as I was "adjusting pushrods"

welcome

 

I just want to get it driving for now, but dont wanna pay 75.00 for a fuel pump or 55.00 for a rebuild kit. Guess ill go electric

 

Go son go-- old Poncho's can become a sickness-- be careful and afraid- very afraid---- speaking from experience and advanced age:>)

 

getting the rad rebuilt as we speak. Broke off a waterneck bolt in the head! Luckilly it was sticking up and the ol weld a nut to it trick worked! Now making plug wires, and thinking 12v conversion with a GM 10si alt. Any tips?

 

Great ride, man. I have had mine for over 20 years. Started out as a 4 door Chieftain. Now a '50 Streamliner with fully bagged '51 frame, a 4 link and AirPod, Lincoln 8.8 rear with disc brakes, swapped bodies, ditched the 268 L head and went with a 455 with Ram Air III heads, TH400, Painless wiring, and on and on.
I have done a 12V conversion and it's not too bad. Lots of misnomers out there about it and I can help set things straight. Let me know if you have yet to do it. I would be glad to share any experience if you need it. Would love line on some '50 grille parts if you have info. Happy New year! Later,
- Steve-o

 

i think all i got left is a center piece of a 50 grille
the other grille went to chief
