In post #1459 the picture of the antique sedan- looks as if the left front door can't open with the sidemount spare where it is. ????
What make of car is it?

On a very positive note, the oil leak that developed at the back of my motor has stopped after tightening some loose oil pan bolts. So no RMS leak. That's a relief.

I can relate. I pulled a sheet of cardboard out from under the GTO the other day and found two oil drops on it. I thought the rear main had let go and was feeling defeated after all the work I did to get to seal. I put a fresh piece under the GTO after we drove it to a show the other day and there was nothing. It turns out the cardboard was previously under my son's Ventura...whew!

I took her out yesterday, going to do the same today. I have been working on her steadily every week since i purchased her. She is running so much better than a couple of months ago. Doors hinges are this coming Saturday, both sides. I have been researching for months on how to do it, I think I have every tool I could need to make it an easier job. Back to the drive though, very fun drive, AC is cooling much better but I am noticing rattles when I hit bumps, sounds like it is inside the car like either in the door or behind my head. No worry though, she will be perfect one day.

Did a Sunday cruise up the Thompson Canyon to Estes Park, Colorado, then back down through Glen Haven with a couple car people. Torqhead from the board joined in.

Spent Sunday at the Goodguys show in Pleasanton, CA. I got up way too early for a weekend to make it down there, but it was a fun day.

Got the His/Hers shifter installation done for my 67 GTO. Had some issue with the repo cables (tried 2). Fortunately I had an original that installed without issue.

Going to the Harper Cruise in a few minutes. It is from 5-9 pm in St Clair Shores MI., put on by the Shorewood Kiwanis. This has been going on for over 2 decades. Nice little cruise, 74* and 30% humidity, not bad for a cruise night.

Dropped the GTO at Flint's Sloan Museum.
It will be on display for one year as part of their "Cars from the Community" display. K

The town I work in up the road from me had their last cruise in of the season. 191 cars showed up. Not bad for being in the middle of nowhere in a village of 500 people! The nearest stop light is 25 miles away.
Ate a lot of food, grilled by our volunteer fire department, and my two sons brought their GTO and Chevelle. I took the Catalina. Edit-Oh yeah! I ran into my financial planner there, who introduced me to his dad. This guy has a stockpile of Quadrajets he doesn’t know what to do with. Told him I’d take all he had! This is just a few of the Pontiacs

We're having the floors done at our house and I just noticed the workers made themselves at home by co-opting one my in progress honeycombs from the garage as a air compressor line wrap. Resourceful, I guess.

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.
