Welcome to Forever Pontiac Forums!

Final round of voting is now!

I worked at all three buildings on Joslyn for a decade. I drove by the old HQ building after both Roadkill Nights and Woodward. Still no signs of demolition- as yet.

He’s always been in group 11 in the poll. The poll has always been accurate ;)

Drove by everyday to get to plant 9. The engine plant. Foundry, plant 9, plant 8 assembly, plant 5 stamping/chrome plating all are already gone. So sad indeed.

Group 7 Wrongway's entry's not on the ballot. With this many mistakes, my suggestion would be wipe it out and revote? Justa my

Thanks! Got distracted at work and didn't hit edit fast enough. Looks like GPBill's photo is dead as it was externally linked so he is, unfortunately, disqualified. Originally GTO Ken and Wrongway were in different groups but realized my code pulled in Jack Leslie 3 times so I had to pivot. Appreciate the keen eye to detail and keeping me honest!

I get sucked into the rabbit hole alot, but this one seems to make sense.

gms_65GTO's 65 GTO

mtrunz's Meet my 1966 GTO Sedan. Family always came first, so it took nearly 40 years to complete this every nut and bolt, frame-off restoration. Today it's better than new and has barely 600 miles on the build. Whether I'm just cruising around or laying the pedal to the metal, this GTO is pure joy to drive and was well worth the wait.

Thanks for the tip B52. I will keep it mind for the future. I do have a solid respirator.
I try not to cross paint manufacturers very often. One never knows if there is a chemical reaction between two different products that might destroy the paint job causing you to start over.
As for the Optic spark, yes it is hands down the Achilles Heal of the LT1. What is more mind boggling is replacing the electric water pump. It’s three hundred dollars and up for a new one!
New AC Delco and aftermarket OptiSpark distributors now have water drain holes in them to prevent water intrusion and killing the distributor. Fortunately for me, this car still has the original OptiSpark and water pump. Knock on wood.
People have come up with ways to run the LT1 with an LS coil pack and ECm or a traditional distributor, thus eliminating the OptiSpark. Is it worth it? I have no idea.

SEM Color Coat Burgundy. You can find it on Amazon, eBay, etc.
Heck Massa’s may have it. I know how much you love to hang out there!

Shootings at school were a spitball N straw issues, sometimes elevated to pea's thus known as pea shooters bought at the 5 n dime for a nickel. Those were the days and the range was the entire classroom.

We love pictures and progress (even small things!) be sure to keep us informed as you continue to work on it
