Actually, that is his wire-welding. You should see what he does with a stick!

A '69 GTO that appears to have a '68 drivers' door - only the driver gets the vent window.

That's what it looked like at first, but on a closer look, I think that's just a scratch or something on the glass. Doesn't look like a vent window to me....

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.
