Nothing like fresh paint
Just out of the paint booth and now with the motor in the frame rails...nice not to have front sheet metal out front when stabbing a motor. Motor was done in less than an hour.

I think if you would have paid a nickel more you would have gotten a yellow car! Just kidding! Looks great.

The power is coming from a 65/389 punched out to accept standard bore 400 pistons and a mild cam under a later intake so I can pick and chose my carb.
Tranny-dujour is a 200-4R with a .67 final drive from a GN...should hold up, but I am trying to figure out how to run the shift cable with very little clearance through the floorboard hole.  I really like the looks of the Torq Thust D's and when everything is loaded in the car I'm going to take it down to the local shop and try on a set of 235/60/17" and see how they fit. My biggest concern on that is the "calculated" 1450 RPM at 60 mph in overdrive with the 3.08's in there now...I really think I need to find a set of 3.55 or 3.73, but until I drive it and see how she runs, I'll wait.

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.
