Check out my GTO blog
Hi guys. I have been a big fan of this site for a long time. In the past few years I have gotten busy with other things like family, so I have been more of a browser than a poster. Recently I am back in school and one of the course projects is to create a blog. I chose my '70 GTO restoration as a subject. I really enjoy all of your restoration threads here (lately I have been a big fan of Loffen's restoration of his '71 Lemans) but this one is a bit different. It's going to start out as a story based blog, and gradually work its way to more of a typical restoration thread. That is basically the way I experienced my history with the car too, as a young kid romping around SoCal while driving my work-in-progress. So I hope I don't disappoint those who are expecting to see body-off shots right away.
So, if you have some time, help a brother out. I am being graded on user interest, especially viewer replies and number of subscribers. I suspect my professor is skeptical about my choice of subjects here, since other students chose things like tech-gadgets and whatnot (snore). I would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on how I can make it better too. Here is the link, and thanks a lot! http://www.mycardinalred.com/ |

Rick, was it built in Fremont, CA (Z in the VIN)? I collect info on Fremont's '70 Pontiac A-bodies.

Thanks for all the support guys!
Next chapter is posted. Actually I wanted to say, feel free to post your own stories too, as well as any comments. There are places to do this on the index page and at the end of each chapter. I would like this to be kind of an open format and see where that goes! |

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.
