Kurt,
I am a big fan of endura noses on Pontiacs BUT the front end of your LeMans is awesome!

Thanks WC!
She's been a long time comin'....The look of the front end is a big reason I bought her. I thought she resembled a 1970 Chevelle....somewhat!...Not to mention, I am a chrome type of a guy

Car looks great Kurt.

Made good progress in the car world imo. Almost two years to the day; January 2017 - January 2019...

All Pontiac front end though, very distinctive.

Kurt,
No, no, a thousand times no....unless you are planning on using Blu Biyu as a push vehicle at the local demolition derby!

Your project has been THE role model for my wannabe LeMans. I may never get mine painted but if I don't, your thread will keep me thinking it could happen.

Thanks for sharing all of your work and the awesome results.

Congrats on turning your vision into reality!

Kurt,
After following your build from the start, I never saw anything but first class progress. That being said, I believe the spring change was the finishing touch to make your car perfect.
Oh, and your decision to not install the bumper guards.

And the bumper guards.....You got THAT right! You were all over that one too....Thanks....

Latest photos of "Blu BiYu" at The Gorski Farm in Monticello, Indiana. Love taking photos of this car, especially at different times of the day...this was at dusk....The White Pearl we added to the paint allows her to change colors....
