Yes, I was wrong, the owner tried to cut T-tops in the roof. That's our guess anyway.

T-tops=Yuck! Loose, leaky, lam!

Where do you live with that much snow on the ground?

That's the garden of the gulf, the million acre farm. Prince Edward Island, my friend. Home to a fictional red haired little girl and cradle of Canada's Confederation.
Beautiful spot and home to some of the best musicians anywhere.
Drop by sometime.
(Full disclosure: I don't live there, I just like the place. )
Best

And a look at our harbour, sure wasn't frozen too long

They are different these guys, built a very nice winged Daytona, oh and a nice casket for another friend who intends to use it for his cremation. I suspect it will do the trick.

That back window in the Daytona is the proper Vega window which is used to smooth things out better.

I seem to remember back in the day getting and keeping door alignment gaps was an issue because of the size and weight of the doors . Is that still an issue ? Or are there solutions that correct it ? Nice project .

I don't think the doors were an issue, one of my best friends (he built my Hot Rod)
never said it was a problem.

Yes, but you are not friends with average people.

Nice to see a Poncho motor in the Firebird. That's an expensive choice in this age of cheap LSX hp, but I like your style.

Why do you have a coffin in your garage?

yellowperil · 03-15-2023, 01:16 PM

Somebodies idea of a joke, I think.

yellowperil · 03-24-2023, 11:52 AM

Motor nearly ready to run, coming together slow but sure

Double pumper awesomeness.

I like how Pontiac had an air gap under their intake manifolds to keep the fuel charge cooler compared to most other makes. Pontiacs had a lot of extra details like that.
