Picked up this "gem" in Green Bay Wisconsin.  New floors front and back,rockers,inner and outer rear wheelhouse. Doors and trunk were in good condition.  Fender had to be repaired in its usual spot. Soon as the passenger side is done ill start on the drivers 1/4 panel. New hood,and left front fender is needed. Replaced down as well. 455 is in it with th400 and a 10bolt 3:55 with 4 wheel disc brake set up.

Sweet looking ride. What is your ultimate goal once it is restored? Dsily driver, cruiser, street/strip?

Plan on selling it,actually

Another Pontiac saved.... All Good.   Nice job so far thankz for sharing your project and mad skills.

very nice sheetmetal work Tom 

i have just started a 68 myself and its great to se another one.

 

Convertible or hard top? I finished my 68 Tempest 10 yrs ago. 

Wow !!!!

mines a hard top and in the rough !!!

 

I had my tempest since I was 18. Most of the metal is original or rust free from California 

That was the lemans we brought home from green bay. Rough was an under statement 

Tom 

I have a couple of questions for you 

front ride height … your tempest looks just right , have you used dropped spindles or have you justA had the springs reset ? 
what discs have you fitted to the front ?

Heidts drop spindles. Lowered springs,not stock. 

I did SSBC Front disc brake conversion

it looks perfect !, what size tire have you been able to fit on the front ? 

i currently have 245 on standard ride height but it looks too high to me! same with the back, with the 265 .

so ssbc with standard boosted master cylinder and drum rear ? 

sorry for all the questions ! this is my first A body , i was a pontiac B body virgin back in 2019, and the guys here gave me so much guidance when rebuilding the 64.

and i must say ! the A body is soooo much easier to get parts for !

........as long as they are not on back order like my gto hood and patch panels are with opg !!!!!!

245/45/17 front. 295/45/18 in the rear. Nitto. Moser 9 inch with drum brakes. Standard booster up front.

Soon as the right side is done,onto the left. Have a new fender and just finished metal work and body work on drivers door.

nice work Tom, who did you get your fender patch off ? and how was the fit ? 

Get the lower patch that comes with the inner brace. It fit pretty good. Only slight modification at the bottom. Jegs has it
