      All in due time. We do have the body (steel portion) on the frame now. Dummy block is in. Engine is setback a good 6" (might be a bit more...I havent actually measured yet). 542ci Pontiac, procharged, etc. 6 speed and an aluminum 9". There will be a rear seat, but with the minitub to keep the tires well under the car, only be room for one. Frame was bent to put the car very low, and it is. Oval exhaust pipe is required and nothing hangs below the frame rails. Frame is 5" from the ground right behind the front tires and 6" from the ground right in front of the rear tires.

      Car is going back to the chassis shop that did the 4 link/watts rear suspension for an 8.50 cert moly cage late next week. He will also fabricate the headers for the new CV-1 Pontiac cylinder heads. At that point its back to JHRS (Joes Hot Rod shop) and serious finish work.

      I am working on a place to put pics, and will post that as soon as its ready to go. Thanks for the interest. This is a life long dream of mine finally coming to reality. I graduated high school the year this car was built/sold as new. Couldnt afford one then. Patience and hard work paying off.

      My '64 Tempest. The Tri-Power 455 is currently getting swapped out in favor of an all-aluminum 6.2 LS3 crate engine.







      My '64 GTO, ex-bracket bomber, for those who like 1/4 mile cars. Powered by a '71 455 HO engine.

      Grew up a poncho boy. Dad worked as a Mechanic at a pontiac dealer here in Shreveport La. for 35 years. he drove home something different almost every day and he let me drive most of them. I had a 60 StarChief I wish I had back now, I loved that car. 389 2bbl powerglide I think. it was a 2 speed trans is what I remember. then I had a 67 bonny 389 4bbl. Man that thing could move. And u could watch the gas gauge move too. But gas was what, 42 cents a gallon at the time I think. Might have been less. I do remember a Grand Am he brought home that I wanted. Can't remember what year it was though. 400 4 bbl 4 on the floor. It would get rubber in all 4 too. well, it barked um in 4th. I think I might cry now. Gone R the good ole days. And now my boring story.

      I was definitely a little kid back in the day, but I remember my dad taking me for Sunday drives up the New England coast. I remember all the cars of the 60's and 70's. Great thing is that they all had personality. They weren't just stamped from a mold with little cosmetic changes here and there. Each one had very cool unique features and of course plenty of power. It's definitely not practical with a gallon of gas going for $3.50 and up, but it still is nice that we can capture a part of history or in my case my childhood. And no matter the price of gas, I'll always fill up my classic to take her for a nice cruise on the weekend!

      T_raven, Jon from Driverzinc hooked me up a couple of months ago. They came out really nice I think, wheels are one of the difficult choices to make for a car. Very nice thought to be on your desktop and to motivate fellow PT'ers! check out some newer pics in another post
