LONG time since an Update... between winter... some family issues.... and work getting in the way. Actually, was resting comfortably in storage... Finally got her home (under it's own power) in a driving rain storm in May.

Here are some various pics... I am finishing the re-assembly, so far so good. Biggest project will be the headliner---- the dash, and cleaning up the wiring so it's safe and dependable, That's all I ask ! lol

Easy, Tiger!

Those stripes definitely pop on that white. I also love the blacked out scoops, and the blacked out wheels. That whole combo is striking and unique. I love me my Cragars, but they are admittedly overdone. That, sir, is freakin' hawt!

The blue stripes are sharp on that car. Kinda like the wheel treatment too....but I'm biased VVVV

Shoring up some electrical issues (Installing an entirely new dash harness after finding more bare wires than I choose to count!).....

While this car is 100% Non-Original... This piece was something I found a few years back and wanted to add. Original dealer emblem from where she originally sold... plus have 2 Pontiac key fobs from the same deal...

Nothing really important.... just some add ons

Haven't updated in a while....but FIRST I wanted to say a huge Thank You to any and all the Pontiac folks here. Between Answering Posts...my kinda dumb questions etc.. I learned a LOT.

I will have to post pics of the interior... but she's 95% done. and none of it would be possible without this forum.

Besides the Paint (I helped with installing the nose,fenders,hood,trunk,bumper at the body shop) ...I assembled all of this in half of a 2 Car Garage..thanks to an understanding duplex neighbor who left his car out for days at a time.

I just told myself I would start at the front Valance..and work my way back. I am reserving the headliner for a trained professional this winter

It's a mix of OEM Parts..repro parts..and a lot of hours after work...and nothing like the not so well put together (with zip ties and home depot screws) Orbit Orange Judge clone in the pics.

Posted are pics of the before and after. June 2011 to October 9 2015.

Again....Thank You all....

Very nice.
I have a question on your steelies....What size wheels and what size tires?
I like mine but they are a little narrow in width for me. They came from a late '70s B-body and I think they must be 6 inchers.

Thanks Greg. They are 15X7. They are new Wheel Vintiques. Thought about going redlines....with steelies.. Just decided against it.

About a 40 Mile round trip today to get the exhaust tightened up and fit correctly to the RA Manifolds. That big old 455 Pulls like a freight train ....I'm hooked. Again....

Yeah, I was going to go redlines on mine too but went with what I already had. I also thought about going with blackwalls and just painting a redline on the edge of the steel wheels. Thanks for clarifying on the width.
