at detroit dragway

 

Very nice, but straight axles don't belong in Catalina's.
It's fine just the way it is.
Slap a windshield in it and call it finished!

 

Did this yesterday lowered rear 2 inches and tinted head lights

 

Does anyone know if these are legal and i was also thinking about dropping the rear another inch

 

Also want to get a pair of cheater slicks

 

And some mag wheels for the front possibly. my dream is to have a cross ram intake for this car ive wanted one probably since i was 16

 

I'm an old guy and loved the S/S's back in the early '60s so I like the stance.......but.....I don't like the red wheels and please lose the red headlights

But it ain't my car so you can do what you want

 

just installed a set of springs from eaton

 

the wheels stay until i have cash for a set of radirs

 

red forward facing lights are illegal on non-emergency vehicles.

I got pulled over for that in illinois back in '99. i showed the cop there were no bulbs in it and he let me slide.

 

Oh yea, you won't last long on the street.

 

ive had great luck havent been h***led for it and they been on for a few months

 

personally i like this thing as it is theres certain things i would have done differently. but its not my car. i dont think she'd look as good with an axle but if you wanna do one they arent hard to do. i had one under my 53 poncho g***er and it drove and handled great..

 

R. OTTO looking great. I like the new stance just a little better. Love the '62's Mark L

 

Thanks im going for that super stock/60's street racer look

 

THAT THING RULES!!!! one of the coolest things Ive seen in a while...screw the haters, anyone that doesnt love this is not a true car guy. PERIOD..........oh and to the OP...rad car too, love it.

 

Not that old of a guy and was not there when they were new but, do agree with the changes you suggest.
The red lights make it look kinda like a cop car.

A pair of Radirs on the front would be ideal. There is another company now making a wheel looking like that- for half the price.

A set of spoke or slot mags would look great on the front too.

'61 and '62 Pontiacs are a**** my favorite cars of all time. Also have a 62 coupe collecting parts to build one day but, it has to wait its turn.

Also, nice a see a few other vintage Pontiacs in the background. I am sure we would get along.

 

Everyone has their own opinion and , there is a mixture of theme on this build but, hey, it is a cool project, it is a Pontiac and most important, it is Pontiac powered.
I have seen this car going together as it is local and can tell you all- It is an impressive build for sure! It will be wild seeing it cruising down the roads here in the Phoenix area.

Keep up the good work Mark.

 

yeah I like it, its about going FAST with twin turbo's. You can build some serious power (which is the whole point behind hot rodding...more power) hope to see more of it on the hamb, I like that it has a straight axle too. pisses off the purists which is always fun too.

 

Thank you for the encouragement and nice words guys and Steve. I love the horizontal headlight cars for the g***er look like the '60 - '62's. This '62 of the OP's is great. Any of the early wide track Pontiacs make great looking hot cars. This is just a teaser on my twin turbo mock up.


This should drive the haters crazy. Mark L

 

Round up a set of the Poncho 8 bolt wheels and drums..... and, Roush is making a dic brake version of those ! Wish they'd done that 40 years ago......

Mark, you ever going to start your own thread or post all your stuff on everybody elses threads LOL

 

Agreed!

Besides who cares about non-traditional hairdryers.

 

i like where this is going

 

No, I'm done. No worries. Sorry to the OP. Again, love the '62. Mark L
