Here are some modified and stock shots of my '62

[twooldgoats]

I finally got out to the track last year. Best time so far: 9.18, with some serious engine issues. It's apart right now, but I hope to have it back together for Pontiac Heaven and run an eight.
It'll be four years this April since I started the project.

Have you decided what to do with it yet? I ask because when I bought mine I intended to make it into a V-8 powered street car, but then decided to build it as an all-out tube chassis racecar.

I would like to run Ultra Quick 8 at Englishtown, but I have to check into it a little more. I think that they are getting too quick, around 7.00 or so. I do chassis work as a side business, so I'd like to do a round tube chromemoly car to show off my work. I just don't want a motor that is constant maintenance. I have a tall deck IA1 for it and was thinking about a blower. I'm finishing my '68 Firebird chassis and motor now, and that will run mid 9's, so I'm looking to do something different. I'm also doing a body off resto on my '71 GTO presently, so maybe it will be 3 more years until I get to the Tempest. By then I'll figure it out. Your car looks very nice by the way.

Moly is the way to go if you have a TIG welder. In the long run, a blower motor set up right can be powerful and easy on parts. I've got a brand new IAII and a 4.25" billet crank sitting in my garage right now. If the market comes back (in my lifetime), I might build a blower engine. Good luck with your projects.

I'll tell you all about the motor the next time I see you. I ordered pistons and if they get here on time, I'll have my '63 at Pontiac Heaven. I refused to pay an extra $250 for "seven-day expedited service". Some manufacturers haven't figured out yet that the economy's in the dumpster. They're still expecting their customers to outbid each other to see who gets decent service. Ellen and I will be there regardless, but I hope we'll be running our car and not just watching, like the last few years.

[PonchoTom6062]

Here is my '62. Although it looks o.k. here, I just went the custom route. I lowered her a few inches and just finished painting her. She is now Satin Blue (suede) with a White Pearl top. I'll post some pix when I finsh putting her back together.

[voodoohalfbreed]

here is my 62. Flat black with red scallops, lowered 2 inches, plus smaller tires, she scrapes sometimes, 64 corvette bumperettes stretched 4 inches, custom made bumpers on the front, 62 comet tail light frenched in the valence pan. Awaiting skirts and lake pipes to be semi complete!

[voodoohalfbreed]
