🎼Dun-da-Dun-Done🎼
💙 November 14, 2016 ---> February 8, 2019 💙
🎼Dun-da-Dun-Done🎼 "Blu BiYu" plans to pick up the job from "Babe Blu" of putting smiles on others' faces 😍😁😍😁😍 I have totally enjoyed myself while bringing this 1971 Pontiac LeMans Sport back to life. Let the Cruise-In begin. She well exceeds my envision and the results that makes her a "Beauty of Labor" Thanks Andy Fettig for allowing me to take her home and give her a fresh look and sound! 💙🙏💙 And what can I say about Clark Gick? What a patient man and teacher of his profession. You are definitely a HUGE Credit to the Collision and Restoration Business! Thanks Clark for lending this old retired Business Service Technician some of your knowledge 💙

Kurt L71S - Your Lemans Sport turned out great and I love the blue you chose. I hope to see it this year sometime (Norwalk maybe?). Congratulations on a job well done!

Final Polish
Just finished the final coat of Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish. This Restoration is now in the books after 27 months of life's precious learning...
 Only thing to do is install my Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner. She has been back ordered since last October. 💙 Come on nice weather! I'm so Chompin' at the Bit! 💙🙏💙 [IMG] [IMG]

Looking forward to see the stance with these tires. My 72 Sport convertible should be coming home from paint in 3 - 4 weeks. The 15x8 rally wheels are in for powder coat and I need to decide on tire size.

OM GOSH! I am so stoked about the new wheels and tires for "Blu BiYu" 💙 They seem to put the exclamation point on a 28 month restoration! I simply could not be any happier with this 71 Le Mans Sport 💙 We can hardly wait to take her to the cruise in and some of the car shows. I feel blessed to have this car in my stable!...

"Blu BiYu" had her first cruise today. The weather was perfect, the sun was full and she was ready to have the Nikon capture her beauty!...

Boy Kurt, that sure does look sublime. Great photo's, and great thread. I've enjoyed following along. Keep up the great work, and the great attitude.
Oh, and maybe I missed it, but I assume those are Wheel Vintiques Rally II's with the chrome edges? 15x7 all around? They look excellent on there.

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.
