Happy 4th of July !! Went for a ride this morning !! IMG_3177.mp4

My Warranty was 9 lives !! I've used up 10 of them !!🤣🤣🤣

Hey I used Blue LED lights in my dash, gauges,and glove box! I'll post a pic in a couple of days when I have everything back together !! Wayne

The lokar switch can be used for either neutral safety or back-up light not both! I wired my back-up lights to a toggle under the dash!

I have the Lokar neutral safety switch installed and it does work as stated. You will need to have a couple of extra thin washers to help with adjustment and may need to "tweak" the bracket for optimum fit!!

Know how you feel laying on back for 6 hours ! I finally got my A/C working and everything is good! But a pain in the ass all the same. I used the original 64 air ducts that attach under the dash to keep the stock look! If interested I'll show and tell how! Last thing to do is get the column shift linkage adjusted. Have an aftermarket column with lokar shift rod and trans mount neutral safety switch. That seems to work just fine just need to fine tune, but body flex makes it a little harder. Added pictures of under dash a/c took out the upper a/c w/ clock and put in rally gauges, then took lower panel and split in half and then took my Dremel cut off wheel, and air cut-off wheel and trimmed the inside webbing to make room for duct work. Glued plastic air ducts to the back of original vent grills ( grills still operational and can be removed ) had to take the glove box liner and narrow the depth of it! Couldn't use stock light so fabricated a smaller light.

I bought mine because of the good things I have heard ! I'm not bashing them, just like with everthing else be prepared to have a issue or two. I got mine thru Gearhead Enterprise/ Rod parts Inc. out of Hudson,Iowa.

I've been playing with my new Vintage air unit ! What a pain in the A$% but that's another story. Finally fixed and put in a new sender for temp. Seems fine now!

That’s great news frosty ! Stay on top of it and my best to your wife❤️

I know it's scary !! and the prospect of being bald or partial is not easy for most women, but support and understanding from friends near or far goes a long way! When I had brain surgery 11 years ago I had it all planned out and was going to my Barber friend to get a buzz, but emergency episode cancelled that and ended up with a half and half I looked ridiculous !!! We've never met, but my best to your wife and you ! I've been sliced and diced since I was 4 years old so I'm kinda use to all this crap !! Call, text, email anytime !

Bald is beautiful Baby !!

Oh Man that's terrible, but I'm glad you caught it early !! Early detection saves lives !! It did mine ! My prayers are with you and your family. I took the heater core out of my 64Bonney it only has 4 months on it and is in excellent shape if it will fit Lucy it's yours for the shipping! Wayne

Hey Frosty, I'm not going to make Detroit this year! A couple of guys that I travel with have prior commitments. We're going to Power Piston show in Cleveland in March! Rewiring the Bonneville and putting in Vintage Air system !! Also new aftermarket steering column ! Let me know what shows you'll be at next year would like to meet you! Wayne

That's okay didn't know the rules !! 😲

Sorry its been awhile!! Norwalk was Awesome !!! Decided to set up in swap meet area and got set up on Thursday afternoon ! Sold over $100 worth of stuff that afternoon and another $150 on Friday !!! Drags were WOW !! and guys in swap meet were great !! Will definitely go back next year!! Car ran great !! 2 weeks later went to Goodguys Grundy nats in York ,Pa had a great time saw friends that I haven't seen in a while !! On way home ran into 2 mile back up for Little League World Series !! 🙄 Car vapor locked, but coasted down the hill and it fired back up and no problems getting home !!! So anyway that's whats going on. Won't make Frankenmuth, but maybe next year. Have a college reunion in Nebraska Columbus day weekend Hummmm maybe another road trip !!! I'll keep you posted !! If you're ever in the Finger Lakes of New York give me a shout !! Detroit Autorama 2020 !! See Ya!!

Yeah told that front bushing walked and took out the seal, bushing and burned some clutches!! They are replacing, bushing, seal clutches and torque converter. Trans is back together, but will be Monday or Tuesday before its back in the car !! I went to a one wire altenator and volts were 14.4-14.5 while driving!! no problems with electrical. I put a GM horn relay on the inner panel to eliminate the horn relay on the junction box !! Works fine and a lot less that the $75-85 price on ebay and other vendors !! Retrosound stood behind they're radio and sent me a new one !! Couldn't be more pleased and impressed with their sevice and product !! Their radios are top notch and really blend well in the stock dash. A lot of comments that didn't realize I had an after market radio in it !! My next trip will be to Pontiac Nationals only going for a day, but I'm retired and wife said ok!! I'll be leaving on Thursday and spending all day Friday at show. Then leaving that night and head towards Erie for the night and then to Buffalo Saturday for my nieces HS grad party!! Let the adventures continue !!

Front seal blew out !! Stuff happens, but a lot with me !!! I guess that's the price you pay for driving these classics !! I just think about all the smiles I put on peoples faces when they see the cars and that makes up for the frowns on mine !!

Well just got back from Columbus Goodguys car ran Great until 30 miles from Buffalo and Tranny let go!! AAA took it to my tranny guy in Buffalo and I'm waiting to hear what's wrong. At least it's under warranty!! Sometimes you just have to deal with set backs !!

Wondering if you're going to Ames Show or to Frankenmuth !!

I have pulled the firewall plugs and cleaned the contacts and greased them up and put back in seems to be no issues. One problem is I bought a new voltage reg. and today found out it was for a idiot light instead of a amp gauge!! so have that on order! I think I have everything straightened out. I fried my $400. retrosound radio when the battery went dead, I contacted them and ordered a new master power cord and will see if that will fix it if not then I'm at their mercy. I have another radio that will fit the hole so I may go with that. You going to any shows this summer/fall ?? Also got new air shocks on car and got the shift linkage adjusted right! Happy with that.

No I meant bulkhead plugs for firewall but haven't found any !! Wrong term.

Yes I would !! Got home and have replaced battery again, new Altenator, and Voltage Regulator. Have a problem with power going thru fire wall into car. Going to start tearing that apart in a day or two. Have new heater/A/C relays ordered going to be looking for new plugs !! Any suggestions ?? Richard Childress Racing, Me at Indy, Jacking car up to fix shift lever, Pontiac Power !!

Well here goes the story !! We left home around 8 am In the rain! Met up with one friend in Penn Yan and traveled south to Pilot Truck stop and met 4 other friends. Total cars 4 !! 40 Ford 2dr sedan, 63 Chevy Belair , 65 Chevy Impala, and the Big Dog 64 Pontiac !! Off we went down Rt 86/17 in NY and then south on 15/99 thru Pennsylvania, Maryland, and final stop Lexington,Va. Nothing but rain on and off all day, but no problems !! Checked into hotel and came back out to go to dinner and Pontiac won't start!! Dead!! Thought maybe the horn relay/junction box was bad and replaced it, but nope that didn't work! Called AAA got a jump start and told that battery was bad!! It was new 2 months ago! Went to advance Auto ( lucky) and got a new one N/C warranty !! Went to dinner all good !! Next morning Monsoons !! Brake light wasn't working right so we fixed that and some how fried the horn relay !! car would not start !! Put the old one back on and off we went !! Made it to Charlotte and all was good visited with an old high school classmate haven't seen in 51 years it was great catching up! Saturday was BEAUTIFUL at Z max Raceway!! Thousands of cars filing in and just a great day of watching drag racing looking at cars and bench racing !! No problems with the car! Very Happy !! Next day Sunday off to Martinsville met 2 of our friends at another hotel and police were there 3 trucks stolen Sat. Night 60's chevys trucks!! Bad Deal !! Started to rain on way to Martinsville and continued on and off !! Again just wondering around getting all our stuff punched,stamped, and free stuff. Next day off to Bristol,TN again rain, but it did let up by time we got there!! Oh lost an exhaust tip nearly took out my friends 65 radiator but missed all the important parts, pan,radiator, ect. did bounce off the rear end !! Roads where terrible in spots and a lot of semis to deal with. Got to Bristol and looked under car and left rear air shock broke off at bottom on top of mounting eye. Great!! But it did still keep air !! Will fix this week. Bristol was fun and you could drive the track, but it was sold out first week in January before we registered. Downtown Bristol is really cool and we did our best to keep hydrated with many cold ones! Except me I can no longer drink ( diagnoised with non alcohol liver disease a year ago) but still have fun !!! I'll leave this for now and continue later !! Thanks, Wayne
