My hooptie, maybe it will be painted by summer time?? It's currently lowered but I think I will go back to the raised stance, has more of a 70's look to it.

Since you have some non-Pontiac versions pictured I'll take that as authorization to post a couple pics of my (brand X) racer:

Glad youre here Keith - always loved your car and its launch. Never knew it was you! Also been reading a lot on pinion angles lately and the work you did for GM always comes up. Thanks!

I probably should be working.... The pic that is hard to see is actually a dual axle 6 wheeled crazy thing. Wish I had more pictures.

I used to have pictures of, I'm guessing, a carousel red? 73 GTO at the drag strip parked by its trailer. Likely a national event. Car was super clean, big tire tubbed car, fitted with glass front end and decklid. Cant believe I cant find them. That car has been an inspiration to me for many years. I would love to see those again if anyone has them.
