Kurt,
Your car looks awesome( especially the bumpers and fitment). Again, the tuxedo interior with the blue paint make me want to change to a tuxedo interior. Something wrong with the last photo; unable to view the new wheel/ tires!

Thanks so much WC,
I love the looks of the Tuxedo....Always have...I have a friend that had, back in the day, a 1966 Black over Black GTO, 389, 4 speed with a Tuxedo interior. She also wore a set of Goodyear White letter tires with SS Cragars...
As far as the last photo....well......I must have put the thought bubble in the wrong place....MY BAD!...

"Blu BiYu" plans to pick up the job from "Babe Blu" of putting smiles on others' faces 😍😁😍😁😍
I have totally enjoyed myself while bringing this 1971 Pontiac LeMans Sport back to life. Let the Cruise-In begin. She well exceeds my envision and the results that makes her a "Beauty of Labor" Thanks Andy Fettig for allowing me to take her home and give her a fresh look and sound! 💙🙏💙
And what can I say about Clark Gick? What a patient man and teacher of his profession. You are definitely a HUGE Credit to the Collision and Restoration Business! Thanks Clark for lending this old retired Business Service Technician some of your knowledge 💙

Default Trunk Done

Worked yesterday and now have the trunk completed!
I used the trunk mat that was in her when I purchased the car. All I needed to do to it was to trim the edges and use the vacuum
....

Someone asked me about painting the trunk deck bolts...NO WAY! These are conversation pieces!.....

Boy Kurt, that sure does look sublime. Great photo's, and great thread. I've enjoyed following along. Keep up the great work, and the great attitude.

Oh, and maybe I missed it, but I assume those are Wheel Vintiques Rally II's with the chrome edges? 15x7 all around? They look excellent on there.

Oh my Eric!! Thanks for your comments about our girl! The wheels are in fact Wheel Vintiques Rally II. They are 15x8 on all four corners. BFG 255/R60 15 and 245/R60 15. I purchased them as a bundle...mounted and balanced from Summit Racing!...
Again, Thanks for all your support and comments through this restoration! I have had the best time of my life on this Le Mans Sport!...

Default The Time is Right!

I have decided that the time is right to let these girls go. I have a price of 75,500 for both or 37k for the Le Mans and 38.5k for the Olds.
No wiggle room on the LeMans, but a little on the Olds. If interested, please let me know....Thanks for looking and again....THANKS for ALL the wonderful comments along the way on "Blu BiYu"....They all were taken to heart!
