1. Maybe a forum showing businesses, services related to cars, that members have used; it can show members' ratings, good/bad comments, etc.

2. List transport services that have been used by members; comments, ratings, etc.

more ideas
 

1. tools: reccomended or despised
2. Tours: I will be at this show with this car on this date........ Look me up but bring beer.
3. Tours: announcement of an area and a date for a meeting, help arrange specifics.
4. Conference: Rent a hall somewhere, invite participants for classes, seminars & demos and sell table space to vendors.
5. major advice: What should I do with my life? what should I take in college?

6. Blog

7. Best Reference material
8. Retirement work
9. Give Keith a thread of his own

So... any consideration for such a forum? (as I suggested in post#33)
Thanks.

Hello
I am not sure where to go. My nephew was given a 77 TA 403 shaker auto no T Tops with a/c, ps ,pb, tilt by his dad. My nephew likes the car but it's been sitting for about five years outside, and his dad never took care of it either. It's been a beater. They are rural and the Mice ect. have been at it. the interior is sun and heat cooked. He feels the engine and trans are ok at this time. Rust is minimal body is ok. He will propally not do anything with it for a long time if ever. I would like to buy it. My question is , is this car worth restoring or is it better to part it out? Thanks Dano

I think PY has 90-per cent of the replys in place all ready. Thanks PY. And the most asked?s on any year of pontiacs.

What about the couple that a lot of people have been wanting for years?

Turbochargers and/or EFI

and the SD 455 Forum. :D

:)

Sorry Jonn there are not to many folks that own them.

turbocharging would be prudent

maybe not SD455...as cuz68 said

need help with suspension 67 GP convertible
 

The wife just aquired a 67 GP convertible that looks great but will need much work.

First we would like to raise the car a little as it rides on beautiful 15" rallys but the old springs are tired and she sits too low. We would like to upgrade the power ft drums to discs.

Does anyone have experience swapping springs, spindles & brakes from other GM models? Could all those items come from one model?

She will also need a new top and several chrome and light peices. Could I get some feedback on whether I should have a custom top sewn or purchase one off the shelf?

We want to start working on these items right away to get her back into shape ASAP!

Thanks for the help.

Apparently there isn't much interest in such a forum? Nevertheless, I'd still like to see it done, as I repeatedly encounter subjects that I'd like to toss out for discussion which don't "fit" in any existing forum here. Thanks.

My answer is in the form of a question:
What skills should my son learn that will never go out of style and that he can survive what ever economic mess his generation inherits?

1. Welding?
2. Detailing?
3. Machinist?
4. used car selling?
5. Parts recycling?
6. Ebay?

What would you want your son to do?

Umm... the answer to WHAT question???

new forum
 

how about a transmission and rear axle forum in the TECH area? right now you have to post in pontiac street or suspention forum.also a volunteer forum where people can sign up online to help with inspection,or transport or help salvage old pontiacs in their area.a virtual map can be put up with thumbtacks of every one that signs up,and other members can contact them that way.practical machinist.com does this in antique machinery hauler group forum.

Keep him in school and let him do what he wonts to do in life.

There should be a 'how to' section

We should encourage members to post long tutorials on how to do certain things

For example, this thread.
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...81#post3859281

Or this thread
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...+brake+install

Within a year or two, we could have a number of common issues covered (and some, not so common)

Classic chevy posted a 5spd Tremec install a while back. That could be a good one too.


Things like..how to adjust valves properly, how to change points in a distributor
All that stuff could be covered in depth with pictures....kind of like 'an idiots guide to....'

You need to ask these questions in the big car forums. The chassis has been covered in the 62-6 forum and is stuck there uneer the widest tire under a 65 B body title.

How about a non-Pontiac Tech?

I'm finding alot of people have more than one brand of collector car. You could setup a single forum to lump all the non-Pontiac Tech, Chat, and Classifieds into.

There are a number of PY members that are quite knowledgable about non-Pontiac stuff.

After being on the site for a couple of months, I find that information on tools would be a great addition.
I took two years at Vocational School (half days at H.S. and half at Vocational) for auto-mechanics. I also went to an Army "Helicopter Powertrain Repairer's" course after a fight with the ground ended my career as a Paratrooper (Airborne Infantryman). In these schools, and many ill-concieved repair attempts in friend's driveways, I have learned that life is much more pleasurable when using the correct tool for the job.
Any tips on modifying tools for a specific purpose, or having a tool made by a machinist, that would aid in repairing or rebuilding our Pontiacs, would be great. Even tips on which brands have great sizing/design for the money would help.

P.S. If I missed this on the site, please inform me.

I would like to see a cross ref. parts forum. example: 472 cad rear main seal will work for 421-455 engines,dodge cam keys the same as pontiac,ford rocker arms will work for pontiac,also bbc rockerarm stud conversions.Really anything that can save us pontiac guys some money.
