Chipping away on the new to me '72. Back window had goop around the trim. Windshield leaks really bad.

It's supposed to be winter but it's not so I took a step toward road-worthy.
I had gone through all the suspension many years ago and left a lot un-done. I made a crude pass to get caster and camber somewhere north of nowhere. I found I'd left the nuts on the upper control arm shafts loose... a mind is a terrible thing to waste. The greased pizza-pans idea off YouTube worked fine. No trouble turning the wheels by hand. I painted these 14" rallys about 15 yrs ago and kept them in a box since. I decided to see if they would clear the disc brake brackets I swapped in later. If I get the car drive-able, I'll need tires so was happy to find the wheel cleared! Then I drove the car around the block just because it will actually propel itself.... plus it's obnoxiously loud with only glass-packs. A good Mike day. ! |

Bought in at the dealer I worked at in Kingman Arizona, was a trade in 1987 Cali car. Frt and rear windows needed just gaskets. Super easy to do.

My 68 was a wet climate car. Was in Pensacola. I think the rear window channel held water and rusted through FAST.
No water, no rust! Living in this dry SW climate is a different world than places with 50% RH all the time. Add road or airborne salt and it's yet another level of aggression. I do remember it was easy to pull the window and replace it. Butyl rope is what I recall...?? |

Well, it looks like the driving season is over here so I gave her bath, topped off the tank with stabilized fuel and put her away for winter.

Drove the Solstice to the body shop to get the deer hit damage repaired. I should have it back just in time to put it up for the winter.

The window is closing on car shows for the season so my son and I headed down to the Goodguys show. Ended up parking next to a '73 SD with a super cool owner whose had it since '79
 Got a lot of nice complements on my car, though I kind of had a captive audience because it was by the corn dog stand. Smooth drive home on the freeway with the windows down. Trans leak is still there, but it seems to have lightened up a bit so maybe it was just overfilled.

Kinda cool - we made the photo recap from the Goodguys show. They had ample opportunity to take a pic because I drove around forever looking for a good spot.

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.
