My latest project. Very little rust other than the windshield frame. A factory A/C car, 326 matching numbers, auto trans. Built in the South Gate plant here in CA, about 3 miles from me.

Wow- I am the epitome of "old & slow"- that thread is from ten years ago!
But I did learn a lot along the way. And the Pontiac four is doing great- got the F/BFL class record in the Loring mile last September. Amazingly I've had no issues and look forward to running the Loring 1.5 mile in July.

Mine looks like yours did Halfthrottle when you got it.
Having the original 326 engine built now. This is a factory A/C car, one of 700 I'm told. Still awaiting my seat upholstery from Ames, been over a year now...

Just received the back seat, still awaiting the buckets.

Making progress, windshield frame is now repaired. Body work is done, now to block it, hoping to paint in November when it gets cooler outside here.
