Did you change over to 15" rims, and are you also running factory size rubber? If not, what size tires are you running and how's the clearance? Paul

tom s, I love the look of the caps. When my '65 is done, I want to do a '63 and that is the look that I want to shoot for. Very nice.

64 bonne convertible
hi guys,here goes trying to send better pics of my car. I`m barely computer literate but if I try often enough, I`ll eventually get it right. I bought my convertible off a used lot in Ft.Wayne IN in 1971. originally a 389 with a 4sp hydramatic, it now has a (1969) 428 and a turbo 400. this winter`s project is finding ways to make it handle better with radial tires. I think a larger sway bar and faster steering might be helpful. thanx for the interest.

I've found the following to work well, -Addco large front sway bar, no rear bar needed. -AGR 12 to 1 steering box with new rag joint from Ames. Bleed the AGR steering box WITHOUT the pitman arm connected, turn it lock to lock about 200-300 times to bleed all the air out. -Scarebird front Disc brake conversion. http://www.scarebird.com/7009.html -225/70-15 Firestone Firehawk 500 tires on 15" rims of your choice. Firestone also makes a great V rated tire called the Firehawk P-V tire thats used on Police cars. http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/details...ountry=US&shop I used vintage Americans but there are many well made new rims out there like the Radir, American, E-T ect. -Replace the ball joints with Moog or Rare units. -Replace the idler arm with a Moog or Rare unit. -Upper and lower control arm bushings with Moog or Rare rubber joints. -Bilstine shocks but the rear shocks will need heavier studs pressed in. -Align the car at 0 to 1 degree positive caster, 1/32 toe in and 0 to 1/2 degree negitive camber. Good luck, thats a great looking car! Last edited by PITTSBURGH 64; 04-25-2007 at 02:41 PM. |

Beautiful pair indeed, where in LA are you located? There are 4 Pontiac-only car shows planned this year, and it would be great to see one, or both of your fine rides there. Les
