Hey everyone, It was recommended I post a hello here or get crucified, so given the alternative, this seemed easier. I'm working on a 1973 Pontiac Parisienne 4 door HT which is a Canada only Pontiac. It's basically our equivalent to US Impalas. Got it on the cheap from the original owner with only 37K miles, so I couldn't resist. Stephen
Yo...Nice to meet you. I'm sure the car is cool...but a little new for the HAMB...but there's no reason why you can't stay and learn...just change the '73 to '63 and nobody will know the difference... You might catch some flak for the '73 Poncho, just take it like a man and we'll all move on... I hardly mention my '75 Monte Carlo...whoops!!!
Yeah, it is a little new, I know, but it was within the toy budget and was all there and needed hardly anything, so I thought it'd be a good place to start. Eventually what I would like to get is either a '60 Pontiac or Olds bubbletop. Oh how I love those cars... One day it will be mine... '75 Monte, sweet!
Well I'm sure not everyone would like it, but I lowered the front (to match the rear end that had sagged over the years) and I have it on 20" wires. It looks pretty good... No hydros as I'm doing it on a budget and I like the ride height as it is. I chopped about a coil and a half off the front to level the ride and it worked out well. I'm doing sort of a Hawaiian/surf theme on it. I like big cars that no one in their right mind would want because you hardly ever see them on the road. Even in it's unfinished state it gets a ton of looks rolling on 20s. Paint and finishing work to come in the spring (money permitting).
