Another Pontiac saved 71 Lemans

[PontiacGuy2]

Hey guys, I said I would try to get more of my past builds up online for you guys to see so here's the 71 Lemans I saved from the doldrums back in 2021, it was a labor of love working on this one, after growing up with these cars all around I didn't mind spending about 10 months with this ol' girl : )

I posted a bunch more pics under the "How To Topics"

Fantastic! Beyond the obvious body and paint work, what all did you do to the ol' girl?

Well besides the exterior body and paint work, the dash was rotted along the bottom of the windshield and I found a company that makes the replacement metal, I cut and welded in patches along the bottom of the door and fender, I don't think it had a steering column in it when I got it, then let's see the entire floor pans were replaced, the trunk pans and braces as well as a new gas tank and sending unit, then the usual refresh under the hood, with new plugs, wires, ignition, carb, water-pump, alternator ect. then I found a nice set of Cragar SS wheels with some nice rubber on them and other than that,  just alot of elbow grease !! 

Oh yea, I forgot I got her a new carpet and a nice clean replacement split bench seat !!

So what paint did you use on the body? What is the official color name?

Have you taken your ride to any track? Done any quarter mile or autocross with it? Just curious.
