I purchased some parts from OPH a while back.
Hubs and caliper brackets. Used parts, naturally,
but in VERY NICE condition. The brackets were expensive but not anywhere near the price of the REPOP parts and were original GM pieces. I will
do more business with him in the near future.

Nossir.

It's already been purchased.

Roger's doing the frame-off shortly, so it'll down in OK for awhile.

Another boring, but true, story......

This gem came to me via the help of 4 PY members.

The car was on eRape.

Mike Nixon sniped it.

Ol' Pinion Head went down to Texas to snatch it ("Well it's floodin' down in Texas.......---SRV).

Ol' Pinion Head brought it up to Norwalk.

Scott Rex's Suburban towed it here........

............on Rashy's trailer.

Thanks, guys. ;)

They must have been made in the USA, since they appear to be ancient, yet have no rusty, peeling center sections.

The first car was owned by Elvis and used in JFK's funeral and then latter on Bruce Springstein wrote a song about it.

Moonlight, might drop me an e-mail. In the old days, I did 15-20 swappers a year + mailorder. Don't have time to set-up at many swappers anymore, stay fairly swamped the way it is. Currently, only website I have is for posting digital pictures, may put up a real one this winter.

Tom V, thanks for the nice remarks. Was a joy doing business with you. BTW, I figured out what you are up to with the brackets :eek: :D

Scott, can you make this page load any wider? hahahaha ;) What kind of Pontiacs am I supposed to be finding in Colorado? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Scott, I thought OK cars were "rustfree" :D I am of the age where I was 16 in '62. It was a very good year. Glad to see this 63 is not being crushed. Would love to see pictures after finished. What engine/trans combination? Inquireing Pontiacaddict minds want to know??

Jack:

My 5 year old will be in medical school before this car gets done.

Finding them and saving them is the fun part.

Scott,

Only problem you have then is do you sell it to pay for college tuition so the child can take care of you in your old age or hold on to it and hope you don't need the medical care?!?!? :rolleyes: The '62 looks great too! It is kind of like the one in the for sale forum here by widetrack. BTW, if it takes that long for the rebuild, how will you get OLD pinion head to do it if he is OLD now?? He won't be able to do the work, he will have to hire it out. (PS. you should get a discount in that case.)

Yes, it's the same body style as the one that Widetrack has for sale. His is a two-tone, though, which I sort of prefer.

His car is a good deal. Hopefully, somebody buys it.
