1965 Pontiac Beaumont

[Manitoban]

So I trailered home a new project this fall. 1965 Pontiac Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe. Original 6cyl, 2spd car with 25000 original miles and hasn't been on the road for over 30 years. After 2 years of asking my neighbour finally let it out of his storage container and we moved it into my garage. It was in storage for 15 years and before that was in the 2nd owners garage for 10years. Quarter panels were brazed on and front lower fenders were patched in the 80's. Probably would have been finished but the frame rot was too much for him and decided to move on. So here I go at my first attempt into the car world.

2004 5.3 , Comp Cam XFI XER 224/224, comp springs,pushrods, TSP polished intake,TSP fuel rails, TSP mounts, 4L60E w/2500 stall.

Not decided on rear diff yet, but frame will be boxed and squared and the rest will fall into place.

Other big decision is mini tub frame or not. It's marked our but will make that call once frame is boxed.

A lot more pics to follow
