Had some wonderful news yesterday as I "uncovered" my right front fender...
Solid from one end to the other!...  These fenders are like hen's teeth! Try to find one or for that matter, a pair in this condition...  Need to do a little work on the drivers side fender. Not a problem! At least I don't have to find "new" ones....not real sure they are out there....

Today....I intend to be ready to pull the 71 LeMans Sport into the paint booth!....You read it right.....into the booth for the first of several coats of primer...."Shoot Clark....Look, it only needs paint and some TLC. We should have her done in..Oh couple of weeks or so.....That was November 2017"....
 Goes to show you how much I knew about this business! I am sanding the last of the body. I have only the new trunk lid and a few welds to clean up....EXCITED!...  Sitting here thinking about what I typed....  November 2017---April 2018... Rip the LeMans apart from the rear bumper to the front bumper. Replace the following: Both sides...inner/outer wheel houses. Both Full Rear Quarters Trunk Floor and Braces Rear Shelf Panel Trunk Deck Lid Completely sand & repair rot in left front fender and drivers door. Sand and strip both sides of the hood. Painted the underside a single stage Satin Black. I guess that is a lot of work for just 5 months...Thanks so much Clark Gick for allowing me to share in your knowledge and expertise. We have a wonderful time together not only working along side each other, but it is uncanny just how much we think alike..... New game plan. I now have every part/piece stripped and sanded with 80 grit. Then finished with 180 grit. Rather than spray primer, we are doing some of the body work and filling the imperfections in the new quarters, trunk, rear shelf. We did find that this car in fact had a vinyl top. There are a bunch of imperfections on the top. Thought we may need to do a "coast to coast". Monday, I'll start blocking the top. Thanks again Clark ...

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.
