New to the Forums
After going approx. 22 years "Goatless" (had a 68 hardtop in HS that I totally thrashed), I recently acquired a 68 convertible for my family to enjoy. I have been working on it (and driving it) for the past 8 months and wanted all of you to know how helpful you have been. There is a lot of good information from a lot of good people on this forum. I have finally been able to register thanks to some help from Steve @ PY and look forward to participating in the future. Thxs and Merry Xmas!
Jim

Welcome Jim, I bought my 68 GTO project car this summer. My buddy found this site for me the day I bought it. You will soon find out how knowledgeable and nice these people are.

I'm still learning here. I'm trying to post some pictures but the file size is too large. Does anyone know how to compress the file so that they are less than the 300kb max?

Finally figured out the picture thing!
Here's some overdue
 photos of my ride. I currently have the interior gutted as part of a dash re-do project. Hopefully it will be back together in time for spring!

Beautiful car. That color combo is striking to say the least.
You and I have similar stories...I had a '68 back in '82. It caught fire the week I got married in '85. I scrapped it and figured no big deal..I'll just get another. Well, I did....but it took me 20 years and the one I have now needs more work than the one I scrapped needed at the time...and I paid literally 10 times the price. Hey...who knew?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
