Default Show Events & Officially Pockets

Hey guys,
We are officially scheduled to receive first units of the bumper pockets! Samples due
1rst - 2nd week in Aug. We hoped to have for the Pontiac Nationals but we probably
not. We do believe they will be in for the GP Reunion in Pontiac, Mich. Aug 13 -15.
Production parts due last week in Aug. Will keep you posted. (This in motion but timing out of our control)

We are going to both events either way and may setup at the Vendor areas under
Resto-Perfect our co. name. Be great to meet any of you other GP guys.
Emails welcome. dean@pixelridge.com

Now if I can just get some time to work on my 71 SJ I'd be all set! 12 bolt ready for paint and get back in with that new suspension. Work on those 197 heads too.

Dean

ps We have found out thru the GM licensing paperwork that the actual name of these parts is: Center Closeout Panel Working on the 71-72 now!

Joe sorry I missed you in July, of course there's always Sept. leaf peeper season.

Default First Samples Off Mold!

Well, we have first samples off the mold and they look nice. If anyone is going to the
GP 40th Reunion in Pontiac, Mich. you can see a sample part at PYs vendor spot. I left one with Chris from PY. Wish I could go but much work to do and little time. (and more GP parts to work on!) Production units soon to follow. Will keep everyone posted.

Dean

The Norwalk show was pure Pontiac Bliss! I need another Pontiac don't I ?!

Default Thanks for the great responses & Ebay

Thanks for the positive responses.
We have listed this on Ebay as a "buy it now" for $200.
It still is not coming up on searches (ebay maze of hurdles, red tape and hoo ha)
You can go to the "advanced search" and enter the item number below and it
will go to it.

item: 110435359565

Ok back to painting that driveshaft from my 71 with the original u-joints in it!

OMG! That is hilarious! I don't know what's funnier- that he even thinks someone would want it or that his opening bid is $40!

"missing both edges or sides,top is complete, broken at the bottom but I am including a bag of the broken pieces.Will need repairs to be perfect."

Looks like a project I can tackle after I finish restoring my burned out lightbulb collection.
