That's always how I understood it formally. We do get used to talking in slang and abbreviations casually.

Looks like an honest, unmolested car. Does have this issue on the cowl.

Yeah, that's a shame on such an otherwise nice looking car. Seems like not a great place to have that.

Seeing that it is so clean underneath, it could be the result of a rodent nest.

To properly repair, the hood, LH fender and windshield would need to be removed so that a proper patch can be welded in and smoothed out.

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.
