    Get it on the road and have fun. Looks fun as is. That's why so many cars get torn down and never make it back on the road. Make it safe and have fun......

    I see 50 Pontiac tail lights some de-chroming, a little lowering, subtle scallops or pinstripes and a mellow pastel paint job - maybe light blue and white or aqua and cream or ......
    Have fun and keep us updated and good luck trying to get any sleep tonight!!!

    Cool. I have a 2 dr hdtp. Best thing is you no longer see the Pontiacs very often. They all got butchered for Chevy parts.

    How about black wheels, trim rings and chrome lug nuts? Really cheap and you can scout around for spider caps at swap meets. How are the floors? Looks cool with that roof line. Heavy flake on the roof? Silver or red get my vote.

    Cool as Hell Bro, plus on top of everything else its a Poncho.

    Guy here at home has a 55 sedan his Dad bought new. Says 83,000 miles on it and would clean up with a good wash...in a shed on his farm. Going to see it next week when I'm back from the Frog Follies.
