Old Dog, new trick


I love that PPG global paint but my God they are hopeless when it comes to customer service. The treated us like we had AIDS.

What a fine looking car.

I'm glad that assembly manual got put to good use.

Seeing that you used it makes it worth the hours spent getting those manuals onto paper.

Compared to many other car lines the Canadian Pontiac hobby has a weak knowledge base, public dissemination of factory documentation is what our hobby needs.

If you'd like to that would be great, not much left to do, a bit of reassembly and some interior detailing. No where to take nice pic this time of year though so maybe best to wait till spring so we can take some outdoor pics.

Since my car is -completely - disassembled, and there were no notes or pictures taken, I assure you it'll get some good use from me as well!

Actually, maybe you could do a duo feature since my friends 2+2 ragtop is stored in my shop.

Finished getting the 2+2 back together, all the chrome and emblems and moldings are original except the outside mirror which is a repro of the correct non remote mirror. The only thing left really is some tires (car has 70s vintage G70 bias belted Atlas tires from Esso).

All the trim was already nice, no rechroming necessary.

Interior is 100% original, I havent tried out the speed warning buzzer yet but the extra warning lights all work (low fuel, lights and seat belts).  the trunk mat was missing so I got a repro for a 69 impala, my friends 2+2 had its original and the repro is identical (classic industries)

Once the weather improves Ill give the engine bay a good cleaning and detailing.  The Vigilite system works nicely both front and rear but the taglight sensor is hard to see since the tag light is so dim compared to the rest of the bulbs.  notice the painted rather than plated booster, i believe its correct in 69.  Still has its stencil and Id tag.  This car has both engine retainers, my understanding is that they were not factory installed but were dealer installed as part of a safety campaign by Chevy due to motor mount failures.

Mechanically she didnt need much, fluid change, new master cylinder and front wheel cylinders. Re-cored the rad as a precaution. Engine runs so smooth, nothing like a virgin engine with all factory stuff and the stock mild cam. Starts right up, idles perfect right away.
