Thanks for the photos. I was there and have the parking ticket to prove it but had to leave Sunday morning because my wife had to go back to work...
Going much later tonight after my wife comes home from work. The trailer is hooked up and I hope I haven't forgotten anything[ATTACH]

I heard about Deuce Days from my friend Gabby who attended back in 2016 and hopefully, I will finally be a participant this year if the car...
No idea whether this would work but since you are in Canada with an American Pontiac, maybe bastardize the car into an American - Canadian mix...
A long time ago, I swapped complete original OEM air conditioning units into two 1967 to 1972 era GM pickup trucks and needed to poke new holes in...
The only thing that will have any hope of fitting would be an underdash unit - just like what you would have done back in 1963 if you had the...
There needs to be power sent to the wiper motor in the park position so that it continues to function until it trips the switch in the motor that...

Never really considered it as a "hot rod" but 1947 did qualify it as a street rod way back when. Made all sorts of mistakes building it and it...
