New guy first Pontiac
 

Hello everyone!

Been looking around and reading posts for a few weeks now, thought its about time I introduce myself. I picked up a '79 TA from a friend back in October here in Michigan.

I don't know a lot about Pontiac. For the last 9 years I was building a '71 Buick GS and I just got it pretty much done...when some lady thought it was a good idea to make a left at the intersection when I had a green light. Totaled it.

If anyone is interested in the aftermath I've been on V8 Buick for many years: https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?th...ess-gs.395487/

Yes repairable, and it was, just not by me. Made me sick to even look at it after all the work that went in. It has a new life in Tennessee and a good new owner.

Anyways that chapter is done and I'm starting a new one. I look forward to learning as much as I can here. This is my first Pontiac and It's a blast to drive!

Originally an automatic 403, was replaced with a 400 Pontiac, roller rockers with a Hurst Dual Gate shift 3speed Coan trans. with manual valve body. Frame is tied with Hotchkis, New urethane bushings, leaf springs, QA1 shocks, Coil springs, brake lines. Its a nice clean car.

So how many posts do I need to have before they start showing up in other threads?

I posted in Body Shop Tech forum a couple days ago and its still not showing.

Welcome to PY! Nice ride.

Welcome to the Forums!
Good looking Bird!

Your posts should show immediately.
But your post count won't increment in certain sections like this one, The Lobby and for sale they may not go up either.

If it was in the Body Tech section it show be there, but I didn't see any posts in your profile page.

Might try and post in it again?

I reposted it again. I guess I'm not approved yet.
