Who is working on a pontiac ?

I recently got my 1950 Poncho back. I sold it and after seven long years I got the chance to buy it back. It was a state away and this is how I found her.

54 Chief is in the paint shop now. Should be done shortly.

 

And now another project! 36 pontiwilly, 3/w coupe w/ willys fiberglass flip front end, dana 60 rear axle, straight front axle,complete fabed new frame w/ 14" engine set back. Will get 421 Pontiac engine with 2 4 barrels and a 4 speed-----should be FUN!

 

I just bought a stick setup for the 49 I am working on

 

I got a Pontiac motor in my Henry J .....

 

My 31 Model A will be Pontiac power with a Nash 5 speed.

 

I love Pontiacs. I have a 56 Pontiac convertible frame that I am plan on clipping with a 69 Firebird subframe in the near future. I will be slipping it under a 57 Pontiac convertible.

 

My real running Pontiacs.....

 

building a 52 Canadian wagon tin woodie as soon as I get room to work on it

 

Those rear springs are something else, never seen a set like that. Is that a 124" wheelbase starchief based frame? I already got my frame done but a 122" boxed convertible frame would be nice to have.

 

Looks like an oxy torch lowering job

 

You guys are really clever.... I got this frame from a car that was in a barn fire! The frame seems sound but the rest of it is basically junk! I am only planning on using the frame. The frame is boxed and 124in wheel base. I checked most of the measurements against frame drawings I found on the internet - it all checks out. Anything else I should look for? Please let me know. I am planning on a complete deconstruction soon and soda blast and, if I have to, take it to a frame shop for straightening.

 

Just back on the road 2 weeks ago. Drives great with V8 and IFS. Can go a bit lower still which is the plan, even another inch would be cool. 3 options - leave it stock looking, go mild custom which was the original idea or the one I'm leaning towards lately which is mildly down the bomb path; skirts, visor, vent shades. Generally more of a mild custom fan usually but these things look a bit over accessorised from factory anyway and (with exceptions of course) the custom ones I've seen that shave stuff but retain the waterfalls look a little lost in the middle. So, decisions to be made.
On every option I'd be keen to paint it black though but that's a fair way off!

 

Nice looking car - for mod's check out this:

Cheers. I'm not sure if that's the look I'm after! Or are you meaning the whole thread?

 

"62 Grand Prix with a "64 421.

 

There's a smorgasbord of ideas in there, just take a little of this and a little of that to suit your taste!

 

I don't feel so bad now knowing I am not the only one who has a pallet of cylinder heads and manifolds ... ( but most of mine are non desirable casting numbers )

 

Nah, you're not the only one. I have a pallet covered with 389, 400, and 428 iron. Most of which I got for free in exchange for machine work. Including a virgin 400 block & heads.

Oh .... I am working on a '69 GTO. Bought in 1986 for $500.

 

Just finished the paint. Took the car back to the original red and decided to paint the top black. A little detailing and clean up and I should be ready for summer.

 

Lookin' good, all you need now is a foxtail hangin off the aerial and your ready to cruise. The waterfall treatment looks as well.

 

Flippin' NICE!

 

Got my new cam in and engine back together, solid flat tappet 263/271 @.050, .610 lift and 4200 stall converter. Should be up and running in a few week hopefully. Just need to shed some weight and get in the 10's with this thing.

 

I'm building a Pontiac engine. It's a 326 out of a 67 LeMans. Basically stock with a .040 overbore, Edelbrock P4B intake, 600 Holley, Cal Custom valve covers, & air cleaner, and headers.

However, it's going in a 59 GMC 1/2 ton. Also, I'm using a narrowed 59 Pontiac rear axel with Moser axel shafts in the truck, with a Muncie 4 speed.

 

working on a 1957 4 door need trunk lid THANKS

 

Very nice blktie! The black is really effective

 

1950 chieftain with a sbc I picked up before the winter been doing some motor work and got hood springs no I just gotta figure out how to put em on with out killing me or the car

 

Nice .....

my 50 should be going under the knife or should I say Sawzall and zip cutter this month or next to do the floors and rockers . then the real fun begins . trying to rebuild systems that were taken out of the car ( brakes , electrical , interior ) still building the pile of parts . still having a hard time choosing paint colors , either black rose , or black cherry . or the original warwick over cavalier grey or flopped .

 

if you have a copy of the shop manual it shows the tool to install them . and its foot operated . page 11-6
just have to figure out the distances

 

Yeah I was thinking about trying to use a Porta power to push em into place
