Hey, I haven't even seen it like that myself...lol
Been dealing with family issues in Tampa on and off for the last two months and NO computer down there. Just got back into town last night. I'll be down there in the next couple of days Dennis. Car looks great! I see you're getting busy on the Chevy Wagon too.

Congrats, looks great. I will need to take careful notes I guess so one day I can get brave enough to paint mine too.

Thanks Blue'69 but if you look over the thread, a couple of pages back, you'll see that I chickened out and let Dennis paint it for me.
Vinyl top went on today. Maybe Dennis will post a pic or two later. Really changes the entire aspect of the car. Gives it a 'tougher' look.

Maybe not caught in pictures, but accomplishments speak for themselves!
Now waiting to see the bumpers, badges and trim- I am sure the detail will really set it off nicely.

Looks even better today. Went down to polish the top trim and wound up installing it. Next week, I'll take all the trim down and do it. Getting very close now.

Alright Dennis! Looks great. You can count on seeing me down there next week with a bunch of stainless to polish. I just gathered it up this morning. After that, I suppose she can come home!

The car is looking great Greg! Kind of weird to see it in color after following all the body work you've posted over the years.

Yeah, I know. It's been in primer for nearly a decade...and I've NEVER seen it with a vinyl top before now.

Well, I guess I'd better come and get it! I'll make it down Wednesday at the latest...maybe even tomorrow.

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.
