Here's what I've been working on over the winter. I installed a 8pt roll bar and got it painted finally. I see why the pros get so much, it's a lot of work. Hopefully I won't have to do another anytime soon LOL. I brushed on rustoleum black hammered paint and happy with how it turned out.

Looks very nice, your gasser is great and helps keep that old Pontiac name out there.

Thanks , I got furthur with the interior today with a fresh coat of paint.

[hellerods]

Nice job-- who ended up with the most paint on, you or the car interior????

[60SharkAttack]

Very cool project. You do good work and I love your two paint mock ups. I like the red one best and I also like the combo of wheels front and back.

[Bill Eveland]

Thanks, actually painting the roll bar and crawling around got the most paint on me, not the floor.

The paint scheme pics are old and don't have Cragars anymore. I got some old 5 spoke E/T wheels from PY member Hooter for the front. These are on a steel rim shell with an aluminum center. E/T II's are from the late 60's. I left them unrestored with the patina and they fit the car well lookwise. Here is a later pic

Yeah baby, looks badass and fun

I went ahead and put some lettering and stuff on the car for now although it's still in primer. I still have some fiberglass doors to install to make up for the weight of the rollbar.

Now that is cool it looks correct.

[Bill Eveland]

I made some fenderwell headers and went to a solid roller combo that should put me mid to low 10's, 9's if I can get some more weight off

This car is going to be worth all your effort. Looks terrific!

[Jack Gifford]

Nice work on the headers! And, they look "correct" for a gasser.

[Bill Eveland]

Thanks, I thought I was still going to have my old sft deal and built them 1 7/8 to 2". I may build another set down the road all 2" and actually have them coated. These are just painted for now.

I haven't posted in awhile, i'm pretty excited to get the pieces together for the hood ornament, this is actually for a Starchief but loved the lighted indian head.

Love the lighted hood ornament. I need one for in the house, maybe mounted on a big piece of mesquite burl.

What's the car weigh now?

I'm guessing the front/rear weight distribution has gone up quite a bit at the front (less traction at the drag strip) with that heavy ornament!

[Bill Eveland]

I think about 3400 with me in it, I've built a Dana 60 and added a chromoly driveshaft for it and may have added a little weight.
