HOW to all! It's good to Pontiac's are well! The Chief would be proud. I used to be a Camaro guy till they killed it in the third gen, IMO. After I sold my Zs I decided to see what I could do with a fwd. 

looks like you all have some nice cars, so I hope you don't mind a fwd nosing in.

Amazing job on your britework under the hood and the interior over the top.  Welcome to the FP tribe.

Well the short answer to what been done to her is, about everything! And everything is real and custom made. The steering is a hand made piece as is the console top & shifter. Under the hood everything is functional, look close at the motor mounts. They are a complete design change from the factory. The engine cover is functional for cooling with the W6 type hood. I'll post up some more pics & explane in more detail later, but here are a couple others.

Ok! The steering wheel was made by taking a stock GP wheel and striping it down to just the cast aluminum carcass. Then cutting of the outer ring, cutting the 4 spokes off the hub, shorting them. Then change their angle to shrink the wheel to finish at 13". Reweld them, roll a piece of 5/8 dia. Aluminum round stock and weld that to the spokes. The start cutting and machining Mahogany, Red Oak & Black Walnut to fit. Machine a center hub and outer aluminum pieces to fit the wheel controls & finish. See pics. This was easy, you need to see the suspension work & the undercarriage, brakes, wheels, etc.

Ringo, if I may? Yes, I do all of my own work including design. I appreciate the nice comments thanks to all. I'm not familiar with how this goes so I'm not sure to continue this here or not? I will say this about the Indian, the suspension bares little resemblance to the stock one & yet it does appear somewhat stock. The same goes for the engine &a brakes as I indicated before. Embelems are custom as well!

Amazing work!

It may be better if you wish to go into detail to create a "Progression/Build Topic" in: https://foreverpontiac.com/forum/9-pontiac-progression-place/

Then in there you can go into as much detail as you want and share as many pictures of the build process as you would like :)
