New Pontiac nut from Louisiana

[Poncho72]

Hello everyone, new guy here. i found this site while exploring pro-touring threads on other forums. i have been a lifelong Pontiac guy. I took possession of my Dad's 1 owner 66 gto Convertible in 1985 after he realized that he would never bring it back to it's glory, and knew i would and enjoy it more. I still drive it occasionally, and never plan to part with it. i drove a 71 Firebird Formula 455 Super Duty from 1979 until 1992 when it would not accommodate a baby seat. i sold it and suffered with regret until January of this year when i bought a 1972 Trans Am and quickly was bitten with the Pro-Touring bug. The plan is LS1/LS2/LS3, w/ 6-speed, 4 link suspension, 18's, and a few other tricks yet to be determined. i have under my belt of note builds of a 62 impala, 72 cutlass convertible, 85 chev SWB, & a 2000 MB C43. i have always done all my own work/builds, i.e. drivetrain, welding, body and paint. i only leave upholstery to the pros. hope i can gain and share experiences here.
