I went to see a medicine man today (read paint-less dent repair) and decades of door dings simply vanished!
 Odometer now reads 43,272.

Those guys are amazing aren't they? What color is this car Chris? The interior on my 74 Fire Coral Bronze Formula 455 was a very similar color and fabric but the exterior color was darker than yours - almost like a Castillian Bronze. Yours is sort of like a Canyon Copper. Very pretty color.

I was really impressed with the work - not as impressed with the factory paint job however. There are several spots where there was dirt or slag in the paint, drips, runs, slides in the metallic etc.
Color is Sierra Copper #63

Gary, honestly I got bored when it was in 3rd & 4th!
I've got a couple of videos, one for each run, taken from my Droid phone taped to the rear view mirror but they are around 30mb each. The video's are VERY cool, had background music supplied by Van Halen playing on the 8-track. I lost lots of traction off the line, it just didn't hook up, then again with the 1-2 shift, but then there was the rest of the track where I waited....and waited.....and waited until I finally went across the line. Did a killer burnout behind Bruno's trailer Saturday night - better than the SD Formula could accomplish, but still it's a bit of a slug at the track!

He brought his 71,000 original mile 4spd 78 Bandit - the cars looked good together.

I cant beleve I forgot to take a pic of the cars together. I did get these 3 snapshots thou. 1st one is my son clowning around and the second is the one that got away. 3rd is of a Super Rare GTO Judge Denali......BTW Chris My car is a 77 Bandit T/A. Theres no such thing as a 78 Bandit. The music is awesome playing to the run...love the backup so the guy could sweep.

Nice 77 SE!!!! Wish I was lucky enough to have that one let alone the one that got away...
I'm taking this as your joking about the whole 77 bandit T/A and the no such thing of a 78 bandit... I can never tell on these forums when someone is joking or being serious. So I'm saying I'm sorry in advance if your just joking... Anyways, If your not... There are no so called 76-80 bandit T/A's... There are only Special Edition 76-81 T/A's. But there is a 1981 Bandit T/A (not by GM), here's the link... http://www.78ta.com/banditedition.php |

Norwalk:
Did anyone find any 8 track head cleaner so I can clean my 8 track player so it doesn't sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks?

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.
