Thanks Bruce. I was really shocked when she picked it out while down in Daytona for the rod run. It bounces all over the place, it does not stop worth a flip and it runs like crap but all that is being taken care of right now. They fixed the carb today and are redoing the trans cooling lines to the external cooler. They've pulled the tank and cleaned it out, new plugs and fuel pump as well. They let it run for a long time today and it did good. Road test tomorrow and I assume new brakes and shocks will be next. I have the new tires for it and we need a day of cleaning and quick stop at the exhaust shop to replace the mufflers and straighten up tailpipes. This one is for her, she wants the patina look and I'm fine with that as long as it is mechanically sound. Another old Pontiac will be back cruising this spring/summer is how I see it.
