Just curious. Was your car Fremont built? If so what was the build date? My car is a Fremont car. 4th week of November, 1963.

Yes both of my pontiacs are Fremont cars, my lemans was built on the same day when kennedy was killed, my tempest was built in November, I'm gonna order the pontiac history of my tempest

I'm not sure why they had to do the long slots along the bottom lengths.
That is wild.
Maybe extra weight reduction. (joking)

I would leave it as is and just proceed forward with GTO or no-name body.
Definitely would not put the Custom moldings back on the sides.

Good Tempest tail light lenses will be hard to source.
But there is always a little room for luck.
I had a good set .... but not sure what I have left or if I still have them or sold them.
I have two 64 Tempest Custom 4 door parts cars , and a 65 Custom 4dr.

I know the hack in the back really surprised me. The seller blamed the guy who he bought the car from. I did source the side trim from 433lemans, I think they would look good on the car, it also beats filling all those holes.
