    As you can see, after 40+, the shelf has not been kind to the lil car. Body N paint work ......on it. Needs to be done quick as 80 degree in OCT is rare Dream Paint weather. Should have moved on to hunting already. Cars are uncharted water this l8te in the year.

    Well this deserves a well earned "F*CK!". I took the Roadmonster out for a little drive before putting it away yesterday.
    The redone wheel looks great - almost too shiny though.
    As I was driving some flakes of paint fell off the top of the steering wheel. Grr.....
    I also noticed the car is now hesitating at low idle as I slowly accelerate. It takes a lot of WOT to get her moving quickly. I have a sinking feeling I know what the problem is and it's an absolute pain in the ass. I suspect the car's original OptiSpark distributor is starting failing. It's only 32 years old. Ugh! This will be an ugly job to replace.

    I started winter prepping my babies. So here they all are in a a line up. They all have fresh gas, gas stabilizer, descant bag, and connected to battery tenders. All have been vacuumed. I need to wipe down some of the exteriors still before putting the car covers on them for the winter.
    The Hummer H3 is technically my wife's but it is consider to be my stepsons. It is what he drove through out high school and college. My wife has a second Hummer H3 for her daily use. I was driving this Hummer to burn out all the old gas in it before putting fresh gas and gas stabilizer in it.
    What is interesting and something I had not thought about when I was taking them out of the garage mahal was these cars, in fact, in the order they were obtained.
    Black Beauty I bought new in late '85
    Lucy was bought in the spring of 1995
    I inherited the Roadmonster in summer of 2018 once my dad passed away..
    The same summer we bought the Hummer H3 for Jacob for high school and college
    Violet was purchased in 2023 from Jacob's old dealership

    Not sure if this is a thread already; I looked around and couldn't seem to find a thread like this. So as the title says, where in the Pontiac did you go today? Take a photo of your car wherever you went with it today (or recently) and put it in here.
    I'll start off, technically not today, but on Sunday, we took it out (first time in a week or so) down to the local canal and locks, parked, and took a walk down the locks. It was such a nice day, 23 degrees celsius, probably the last nice day of the season, at least around here.

    I admit that it was a tad strange to see JUSTA without a car at a car show. What's worse than that? He shows up without his camera too!!!!! The man who preaches how much we love pics around here to newbies came to a car show cameraless. He came as a spectator! Shame JUSTA! Shame!!!!!

    At least one of us can keep the faith! Okay we had about 80-100 cars.

    My mother-in-law claims she had a 65 1/2 convertible mustange with a straight six, red with a black top! Shish!! She may want this one!

    Great split window '65. Reminds me of Sam Malone's from Cheers!

    Great looking Edsel

    I love the matching push/pedal car

    One year only '67 Grand Prix convertible.

    This woman just bought this car a couple of months ago. She has wanted one since she was a teenager.

    Lucy!

    After some careful bending on the float, got the binding out of the motion, needle valve is sealing . Car is back running well and no leaks. Now move on to the shy lil one. GKids are same age as my daughters back in the day. Picture time!! 1st time off the shelf in many many years.

    Hello Al,
    Take a look at the "Tanks, Inc" site and search for their TM37C-T tank. Its from a 1965-66 Chevy Impala and its a fuel injection tank but that aspect is not a show stopper. It fits, is two gallons larger and is what I'm running. I also put an armless, 0-90 ohms float assembly in mine. Works great.
    I went with a tan & light green plaid for the upholstery in mine from a company called "Relicate". You will also likely need all new seat foam and I did not do an upholstery kit, this was yardage. Look carefully in the seat springs of your seats and if you are lucky, you will find perfectly usable factory build sheets for your car. There's also probably a sheet behind the sound deadener board behind the upper back seat section.

    Hello Al,
    And welcome to the group here. As Ringo mentions above, we do love pictures and I'm very interested in your car. I also have a '70 Cat convertible and I've documented its resurrection here on this site.

    Looking for ideas on upholstery for my Cat, I can't find anything except yardage , does anyone know if a 70 paressiane cat upholstery with fit? Are the seat frames the same size? I also need a fuel tank sender or a new tank that fits and uses the newer style float. I appreciate any help thanks.

    They Took back the middle carb rebuild kit, but I bought the outside one using 2 of the gaskets. Trying to get me a brass float, this old one stopped nothing.
