  1. Beautiful Lemans, welcome to the site.
  2. Great job so far. Wish I could upgrade to a tig. I wouldn't use it enough to warrant the cost. Keep on rockin. Always have my Ol buddy Mr Millers, but also a fan of ....wait for it, Corona Extra as most of my friends know from my Volleyball headgear.
  3. Awesome under 2.00 ga prices and both cars are full. I have 1.00 off in points for Kroger waiting to be used but...... always fill my gas cans too as I can buy up to 35 gallons at that price.
  4. Figured you would boot something out the garage to get Lucy in while we are all grounded. (it's been 50+ years since I was last grounded) Glad to hear this will be the last week of the wifes radiation and birthday wishes sent her way. Totally unnatural to be thinkin about Autorama in June anyway.
  5. Harry say's you have Justa nuff firewood. Awesome patio.......
  6. Sure looks like Harry jumps in N takes charge of any situation. My LIL Cocker Spaniel rules the roost around here too. 12yrs and many ailments, but couldn't imagine it around here without him. They are worse than kids, they actually mind once in awhile and know exactly what your sayin.
  7. My 80 Sunbird (JUSTA6) and matching trailer. Justa 6 N Justa66 hangin out
  8. Agree with everything Frosty is suggesting, but the Pertronix 111 is overkill. This is pretty much full on racecar. Will also require MSD ignition upgrades and more $$$. Already getting bored with the TV and the whole Corona situation, I JUSTA spend a good deal of time researching and went with the Pertronix 1 system. Doubles the spark input and can use your stock coil/system. Here's the link to check out what you are looking for. Customer service was extremely helpful and could have talked with him all day. He was bored tooo as things were dead around there too. Good luck and great to see another Mitten member here. Keep June open to attend the Widetracker Spring Dustoff and meet up with a bunch of us FP Michiganers. https://pertronix.com/pertronix-1181ls-ignitor-delco-lobe-sensor-8-cyl.html#product_tabs_additional_tabbed
  9. We are all in the same "19" boat bro. Ordered a new electronic ign system to replace my old points system in the GTO and waiting N watching for the big brown truck. Justa for something to do. Maybe the storage place will open for a day to give people some access to their stuff and you can pickup your prize. You LIL buddy seems concerned about that doorcard.
  10. Welcome to FP! Always glad to see another MITTEN member.
  11. Happy Birthday....... He can remake himself now! Have a good one Ol buddy.
  12. Could stare at that all day....beautiful. They canceled my Winter Senior Olympics Volleyball match Sunday. Been practicing with this team for 6 months. This is a qualifier for summer games. Gold metal at both and we represent Michigan in FLA this fall. You N yours stay safe N healthy buddy.
  13. You can restore a car to 100% factory spec's and you have a beautiful piece of history. Now get real. The amount of work to bring your dream project back to even a driver status will be extreme. From the start your frame needs some major work. Now would be the time to box it in and strengthen, making it the BEST it can be. You JUSTA blew your 100 point showcar status. But I bet your already thinkin about safety items, disk brakes, urethane bushings, coilover shocks. Todays tech that blows away 50+ year old tech, increasing your safety and performance. My point being that there are many parts you will simply not find and will have to upgrade. So it's really all about what makes you happy with the project your gonna love sooo much. Have fun with your build, better yet, get a kid involved, teach em why we enjoy doing what we do. We all need someone to pass the torch too. Cheers buddy.
  14. Was sorry to hear about Holden. That was a base for the last gasp G8, an awesome ride! The Lemans you so fondly spoke of was an import here. GMs shot at building cars in the Asian market. The only reason to explain the trade gap in the automotive world, was GM cars were too big for their roads. Pontiac also bedded down with YOTA power in Vibes. (another lower my head moment) Owners either loved or hated...NO middle ground. Like the Lemans, parts were stupid expensive. The industry as a whole has made great strides in emissions and MPG. While the number of cars on the road is off the charts compared to 30-40 years ago. We are still putting out close to the same emissions levels overall. For my $$$ the biggest single improvement is the computer controlled fuel injection. Maximizing every drop of fuel for near complete burn. Electric cars (In my opinion) cause many more problems than they are solving. They are NOT as eco friendly as we are led to believe. Yes someday the technology will be there to make it work as advertised. Tesla, GM with the Volt/Bolt are making some great looking cars. That's a start. Wanna make a real difference in our planet? Figure out a way to make plastic 100% recyclable and hold everybody to it.
  15. Fitzy all's good buddy. We are JUSTA joking ...to a point. As you have needs that require fuel efficient vehicles, far more than we do. Pontiac is more than Justa vehicle manufacturer to us. It represents a way of life. My Dad worked for Pontiac Motors and I was lucky enough to be hired into Pontiac Motors here in Pontiac Mich, The roots of everything Pontiac. After a career of watching the Asian car companys abuse our economy with unfair trade practices and dumping basically disposable cars (4-5 years and most were in junkyards) there is still a terrible taste left in my mouth towards imports. To make matters worse, Pontiac is now a memory and imports (no matter how much they have improved quality) are a large portion of the vehicles on the road today. Most claiming to be built in the USA, but they are simply assembled here. There are thousands of small shops required to build cars, from nuts N bolts to plastics, electronics ect. THAT is American made. Sadly even our companys now put cheep trash parts into our cars. Air Bags.....Nuff said. The disrespect came from the generation behind me, somehow overlooking the companys that put the roof over their head, food in the mouth, paid for their educations and the list goes on N on. There are 4 Pontiac's in my family tribe and 2 Ford daily drivers. SUV and Ranger truck. All 3 of my adult kids always have and always will respect American automotive community even though they are making it harder all the time. Nothin better than spending an afternoon at a carshow with my family and the Pontiac's.
  16. I built the GTO with an automatic ect for the Wife to drive. It's too hot, doesn't have air. You can smell exhaust.......ready for this? NO CUP HOLDERS!
  17. Sorry....that's NOT tire smoke, it's Prius repellent.
  18. I still have not installed the veneer I have so much $$$ tied up in. Had it stained to match the center console. Had to find new climate controls and cables, then JUSTA haven't had the time to pull it apart. Also still need to change up to LED lights while it's all apart. Didn't want to have the car down and miss the shows I attended last year. Need to get er done.
  19. Yo rocket.....Lookin soooo sweet your makin my teeth hurt. Good to hear from ya, been awhile.
  20. Have a funeral early and a wild game dinner in the afternoon.
