Anyways, I’ve been working on it the last couple days, and it’s looking great so far. Waiting on a part to complete it.
I recognize these photos from your post on FB, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who purchased the NOS timing cover off you. Jim, right? It came in a week and a half ago, looks brand new, thank again.

This QJet body looks immaculate... is that an unwarping jig it's bolted on??

Glad you’re pleased with the cover. It looks brand new because it is….lol

The carb is sitting on “feet”.

Ooo I like it! I was looking at those wheels for mine. I decided against buying different wheels once I realized how light my current wheels are!

Default Blinkage!

It was a great day in my own little Pontiac world. I saw turn signals work for the first time in 15+ years!!

WE HAVE BLINKAGE!





Here's a link to my hypnotic celebratory video:

Turn Signal Works!

Woo hoo!
