white_horse Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hello: We have a 1973 Bonneville 4 door sedan; W Code 455 Engine; 71K original miles; Carter Q-jet, automatic thermostat AC (being repaired as of this morning); cruise (works); nearly perfect interior. Here are a few pics from when we picked it up and how it looks after wet sanding the hood (with a friend). We are doing our own wrenching except AC, tires, exhaust, and paint/body. More photos, plans, and information will be posted in the progression sub-site. https://imgur.com/a/1QUKbwg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post white_horse Posted January 31, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thanks so much; just wanted to say hello and introduce "Bonny." No, we didn't name her, she came to us that way. We will post mechanical details in the progression forum. Already a hit at the local cruise-ins and work. I took an entire day off to drive to work and give people rides for half the day. One co-worker even made a youtube vid: Disclaimer: Don't judge me for the music, he wanted 70's funk that was royalty free. I am neither a 70's cop action hero nor a porn star. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be installing HEI ignition and converting the "W" code 455/single exhaust to "Y" dual exhaust with some nice DynoMax UltraFlo mufflers for a deep note. Should get more horse, better gas mileage, and better throttle response without getting silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
