62 part car
This was a short term parting out project. Lots of bondo covering lots of rust!!! 4-banger, 4-bbl, 2spd. Saved the tinted glass, engine, trans, torque tube and shaft, plus many other parts. This could be the engine that powers my Model A Fordor? Snapped a few pics before unloading to pull parts. Its going to the scrapper 6/18/14.

Well I guess I won't ask about the qtr trim LOL.
That rear bumper looks like new compared to mine. Looks like you left a lot of parts on it? GT. |

Just the carb, already have a freshly painted manifold. I actually have 2 4bbl's, one that I'm rebuilding and will use on my '62 Tempest automatic and another just for spare parts, some of which are missing. But the one I'm putting on came off a manual-shift Tempest and the other is like the one you got, for the automatic with that vacuum fitting between the 2 mixture screws and I'm switching the base from the spare carb onto the other's air horn that I'll be using and because it's missing the vacuum fitting and it's just got the hole there, I made a vacuum fitting with some brass parts and run a hose from that to the hardline...there was a 1bbl in it before that I pulled out to 4bbl it. But didn't know if you wanted to get rid of your carb or not and it looks complete, so just figured I'd ask. Do you have any spare parts for it, such as the throttle spring bracket (or at least have a pic of it so I can make one) that mounts onto the carb base and do you have a close up shot of the side where the linkage is at?
From what the shop manual shows, the kickdown linkage for this carb is different from the one for the 1bbl and wanted to see what yours looks like to see if I can make one or even use the same 1 bbl linkage and the kind of stud it uses, since my carb doesn't have that. This would really help. Have asked this around PY forums, but so far, no answers. Thanks |

Installing new carpet. Put the car out in the heat yesterday (40 celsius or 104 F) so then the carpet was easy to lay out over the floor contours. Today did most of the cutting and trimming in the comfort of the garage. No air-conditioning, but a loud stereo. Trimparts carpet is a quality product and a piece of cake to install. I took a whack of pictures. Here is one. Looks like it's time for new rubber for them pedals.

Got my baby back...
Picked up the car on Saturday, only 6.5 months later but she sure shines.
 Now to start putting her back together. So glad I went with the original color, it never looked this good. I wish it was my time to install the carpet, looks real nice. |

Progress
We have the Lemans running and ready for its new red top. Monday is the appointment for the top installation. The engine started but ran hot and woulddn't idle. Problem was the timing not having enough advance. Once I got it to 10 degrees BTDC, it ran like a champ. The convertible top bows moved slow until the pump was bled and filled per the 63 Body Shop Manual. It has been 3 years of body work, paint, engine overhaul, and assembly, but it is finally getting close to being finished. The Fat Mat insulation, interior, and exhaust system are left to do. Should be able to take it this summer for the first drive since 1990.

John
Yes, the c5farmer tag comes from having a 1998 C5 corvette and growing up/working in agriculture. The convertible has the stock transaxle and uses the original automatic console shifter. Thanks for the nice comment about the car. |

Just got my car back from the upholstery shop. Only had the two buckets done and the headliner. Rear seat and door panels are still in great shape.

No I got my material from SMS auto fabrics in Oregon. The upholstery shop used the existing seat covers and headliner to create templates.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
