Default Hi everyone!

Hi everyone there!

Just recently discovered this forum, I had been following some others like TAC, Lat-g or pt.com, but this one really looks quite special for the amount of Pontiac-specific info, resources and collective knowledge!

I have a 73 Firebird Formula 400 with some mild upgrades.
I usually don't have a lot of time to be an ultra-active poster, but for sure I will be following this board and trying to participate as much as I can while learning from your experience.

See you around!

Hi and thanks again everyone for the welcome.

Bruce, not teal, it's a shade of blue that I found after hesitating and searching quite a bit, not from GE though.

Welcome. Nice car and "Blue" looks just fine! Not that I'm partial or anything.
Great source for info here.

Hi all,

I don't have the chance to post that often, but I thought I could do a quick update.

After quite a few (and quite expensive...) last purchases / upgrades over the past weeks, although some yet to be installed...
I am finally getting closer.... hopefully will hit the road in a few days !!


I will share with you the end result when ready!
