    • Gentlemen,  I’m a new member here but an old Pontiac fan.  My father founded Bud Beck Pontiac in Scottsdale AZ in 1967.  I started working there on weekends as soon as the dealership opened and full time on weekends and summers.  I bought the store in 1985 and was the owner/operator until 1997.  In our 30 years we delivered over 28,000 new Pontiacs!  Today I own and drive a beautiful 1970 Trans Am.  All the best!

    • Soo, finally got the roof to side glass area finished/ painted on both sides, installed the trim and new seals. Removed rear window regulators and got everything lined up, reinstalled and adjusted glass, I have heard that it's hard to find seals that fit good anymore, that they are to "fat" but these where perfect after sitting for a week with the windows up, maybe because these are over 20 yrs old, came with the car and was bought before my friend parked it. Ordered some retro license plate dealer frames and this is what I got. Waiting for them to send new Pontiac ones.
    • I attended the AACA Eastern Fall Show, otherwise known as Hershey,  for 3 days this past week.  It is a 4 day event culminating with a large car show on Friday.  Been going for more than 50 years. It is a “can’t miss” on my calendar.     The flea market and car corral takes 3 days to cover,  averaging about 11 miles each day. Here’s a few pictures.
    • OK unit came back from Bobs looking great, see attached.  The ground wire was removed, the original had a wire soldered on the flange as shown in the original picture by @Norseman64.  Question:  Can I ground it with a wire on one of the 6 bolts?  Technically the tank is grounded so not sure why this wire is required. Inputs are appreciated.  Thanks all.
    • The plan came together and the royal couple intruded upon the 2 Kiwis just after lunchtime whereupon we were separated and given individual tours of the place. We're catching up for dinner tonight and then it's hot thermal pools, beer & car racing tomorrow. Kiwi very generously threw me the keys to his Bonnie and we took her for a quick squirt up the road. The first thing I did was turn the indicators on in an attempt to put it in R, but where was R??? Oh, there it is - at the END of the shift options, opposite P. Obvious when you think about it... She drove straight & true with a lovely soft ride and I was warned that the brakes are quite powerful - true that: they were excellent. Original stock untouched motor ran perfectly and we discussed at length the pitfalls of highly modifying a car that was never destined ro be a racer. The Bonnie was always going to be a cruiser and so it shall remain.  I was shown around a vast array of cars in various stages of degradation/restoration and we had a good old natter. Then we were given a tour of his hydroponic setup. Very professional and what a great idea. Everyone should be growing at least some veges, like they used to do in the old days. All in all a thoroughly pleasant afternoon and I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't hanging out to catch up after a 2 year absence. I have tentatively offered to come over for a month and help tear the 389 down and have a look at the internals. Might be just a rings & bearings quickie, but it'll probably cost him more in beer & food than the rebuild is worth!
