dang i'm a newbie again. lol

name is rick and i live north of belleville, ont.. i am semi-retired business owner flashed back to my old play with car days. i have several old cars and one of them being a 40 pontiac coupe. i picked this up about 4-5 years ago and its been in storage since. its all original and it runs and drives. its turn in the shop will be this winters project. i am planning to make it into a retro-rod coupe. i have scrounged up most of the parts required i think. 327ci, 2X4 intake, straight axel and hard ware, 9" rear and still undecided on the tranny. 4spd or auto o/d, we will see. also have a set of fender exit pipes but still undecided on that also.

thanks for having me and as i get closer to getting it done i am sure i will be looking for some parts and advise.

Welcome Rick! Looks like a very cool project!

"THanks for having me"..............Thats what I use to say when I'd leave a girls house after one a night stand While putting my shoes on at the door,while saying " goodbye nice to meet you" to her mother that just made me an awesome bacon and eggs breakfast........................It's happened!

Welcome from Quebec city. Cool project !

thanks for the welcome guys. its been a bit but its the time of year. the more i get done now the more time i will have to relax and enjoy. yea like thats going to happen. lol
i have had a couple of pontiacs in my time but mostly the other GM moniker. probably the one i remember the most was this one, LOL

it was a clear sunny day in june, 30th 1972.  the age of the car on that day was more than the marriage lasted. the positive up side though was 2 really great kids. grampa now.

Pure '70s ... cool picture!
