Hemmings video; new car bodies
This is pretty darn cool to me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBBZrjwqWZc Let's look past the fact that the subject of this video is not a Pontiac, and instead look at this as a behind the scenes of how repop bodies are being manufactured. This video was shared a short while ago on another forum I frequent, and it's taken me a while to get around to watching it - after watching it, and not seeing a thread here mentioning it, I had to share it for you all. I have seen a couple images of repop complete 1970(?) Camaro shells, and even one repop 1970(?) Firebird shell and have to believe this is how it's done. IMHO, the manufacturers should get behind this, and with some oversight, make these available a "restoration parts" - or something like that... I mean, if people making "clone" cars (eg: turning an Esprit into a Trans Am) hasn't made a discernable dent in the market, then I'd think there should be room for this...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
