Default Any love for decloning ?

Hello buddies !


Some of you might know my car if you have followed the racers/boost section over the years... I've had my car for almost 20 years now and have strong Pontiac roots.

My car originally is a 69 Custom S btw ! ohh and a 6 cyl OHC on top of that.. LOL

I've been kicking the idea over the last couple of years to turn it back into a Tempest ( too many GTO's out there... kind of a feeling)... well I never really did the full blown clone deal but most of the parts are on it.. it certanly will always be a custom ride for sure.

So I have acquired some parts over last couple of 3-4 years, certainly not an easy task being in the middle of the Atlantic ! I know this is going to add a ton of weight to my car but I plan of taking that back elsewhere.



So as of now.. current parts gathered

Nice flat hood from a 70 Lemans parts car that I got for 100 bucks local (the whole car)

Perfect 69 Tempest ( Tempest only ) rear lenses for 25$ at Daytona Turkey Run last november. A STEAL... The bezels I have since restoring the car initially..

NOS 68 chrome bumper at a local vintage car club part pile... what a SCORE! For 150 bucks...... I KNOW it's a 68, but who likes the 69 witch nose anyways !

RH fender I have (it currently has a whole fiberglass front) and the bumper brackets i've had for years, it still has a steel core support in it though.



KRIS.
