meanwhile I have rent, electricity, employees,
Morgage, good, family etc to pay for.
Can't expect great work from someone who's
wondering how he's gonna pay the rent.

Money is the facilitator for great work !

Yup,Back in the seventies when we were doing work for a couple top qualifying NHRA Prostocks,We had a backrunner show up telling us that the guy that was doing his work was doing it for Nothing,After we checked it all out we found that was exactly what is was worth,Nothing.Bill C.

About Us

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.
