Projects Need your opinion- Indian Head ornament

There it is! Well put

 

Sometimes a hood ornament is just a hood ornament.

Looks good, do it.

 

What kind of front bumper is that? (we've worn out the hood ornament)

 

i cant believe that a hood ornament can get somebody so heated. i think the connection between the ornament and the fact that the truck is an apache ties in just fine. it does look good! maybe if you just wear a poncho when you drive it, that will make the purists happy.

 

Funniest comment of the year, late entry.

Seriously, as roadrunner said, wire that perfect fit to your headlights, you lucky dog, looks great, love the truck, love it just a little more with the hood ornament.

 

You need some Buick port holes for the side of the hood

 

CADDY-O...man what did you expect? just do whatever your big enough too. having said that, i like it!...POP.

 

Its your car put it on , I would especially after all reading some of the DONT DO IT posts i cant believe that its causing people to get all up in arms ,It's just a hood ornament ,you arent going to please everyone ,hook it up so it shines nice and bright ! if it was me ,iwould get someone to cast up this indian head --ohh but then the experts would be saying your truck would be to PASSIVE--AGGRESIVE --LMAO!!!!

 

x2-- WELL SAID!!!

 

Go for it. The Indian light on the bike in my avitar is not "correct" for a '40 Indian, but I like it and it is going to stay as long as I own the bike. And if people mention it at shows, I'll just remember what my mom used to say about folks who make negative comments being jealous. My stuff is my stuff and I like it the way I like it.

 

Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Wow...Some of you people are really supporters of Team Pontiac... which is alright with me but I'm looking at it as a cool piece of art more than anything else.

With that said... The hood ornament is now permanently mounted and will be illuminated in the next few days.

It's a little late on swaping engines because I just put a fresh SBC/700r4 in it over the Thanksgiving holiday.

I can't take credit for the bumper idea...it was already installed when I bought the truck. It came off a 58 Chevy car and is one of the things that I liked most about the truck when I when I first saw it.

Hope you guys have a great New Year

 

you sure you don't wanna check one more time with the poncho princess???

 

Glad to see your doing it your way , thats all that should matter , hope you will post some pics of it lit up , -- have a happy new year !

 

Screw em all

 

Isn't this the part of the thread that the guy chimes in about the dryer sheets?

 

I LIKE IT ! Go with man, it looks great!

 

It looks great, Keep it on there

 

Where was Brandy earlier today when someone suggested to use a 57 poncho steering wheel on a Bel-air????

 

it does fit perfect i would just go for because it looks cool, you are going to get a lot of people bitchin. Also pontiac motor would be really really cool

 

You guys REALLY need to re-read this thread. I NEVER said DON"T use it.

 

It looks cool , it fits like it's supposed to be there , I would put it on . Who gives a shit what anyone says that might not like it , that would be their problem , not yours .

 

Hell I've been looking for a '54 lighted hood ornament for my '54 Poncho! I like it, looks good to me..................455 next?

 

great douche newbies.... give it a rest and learn to read, get some hooked on phonics maybe. Comprehension is the key. I mourn our educational system these days.

The majority of the reason I was against it is that it's just adding something to be novel. Like skulls and cobwebs...

 

i ran this



on my chevy


it was stupid..

because someone paid me big bucks for my non chevy hood ornament..

you should likewise have luck selling that pontiac hood ornament for a nice profit..

 

Yep that be stupid

 

To me novel would be more like autozone "portholes" or neon license plate frames not a pontiac hood ornament. Ill see where you're coming from when I see them on a shelf around the corner.

 

Hood ornaments are like wearing a hat.
Went out of fashion a long time ago, but some still like to wear them, regardless if it matches the outfit and occasion.





PS: It's OK to close this thread now.... Thanks!

 

I have a NOS aftermarket Indian Head hood orniment, made by Blackstone dated 1950. Looks like a full head with war bonnet, Face and Feathers lite up, with chrome around top of bonnet. Anyone got one? Or a pic? Hate to say what I paid for it!!!

 

Did anyone remind him he can use dryer sheets to make the indian head sheen more?-Weeks
