I have been looking at the rear wings that came on the 1970 and I prefer the ones on the 1969 as they come into the quarter panel edge and have a cleaner fit (personal opinion). Will the 1969 fit on a 1970 as from a glance it looks like it will. Thanks

Hi, I am chasing a pair of bonnet hinges for my 69 Parisienne which I believe are the same as 70 model. I am in Australia and parts for this model are impossible to find here. Hope some one can help, thanks -- Edited by Confederate1 at 23:28, 2008-09-17

After 4 years, and never thinking the body would ever get started, I finally cleaned up and shot some epoxy on the body! You'd be surprised how much time it takes to remove all the overlapping trim on a ragtop. I got pretty lucky, only 3 screws were stuck, and only 2 needed drilling to remove. The botto...

Guys, I'm onto the body phase now. I'm scraping the undercoat off the underbody in prep. for degreasing and powerwashing (thank god for the rotis!). Looks as expected but It's obvious I'll need to treat all the scaly rust as it won't be getting dipped or blasted. I have a small pressure pot blaster t...

Guys, I'm just about ready to begin working on my body, from what I've read, the best way (other than media blast) to start, is to chemically strip all the old paint off the panels. I see that the best available product that restorers use is simply a comercially available Aircraft stripper. Probabl...

I've got a 1969 Pontiac Lemans convertible that it is breaking my heart to have to sell. New baby and other things have made it impossible to keep and it needs alot of work. It needs about $1200.00 in mechanical work and $5000.00 in bodywork. Any idea what I could list it as? Thanks so much!

I removed (original) carpet, and was pleased. I had taken up the rear,when I installed, new parcel shelf, and I sprayed a little red primer at the back.. The car is remarkable, for a car that was in Toronto, for the first 25 years.. see the original plugs and caulking

But not necessarily in demand!!! I am thinking this should make most Pontiac guys go "huh"??? In about 1980 or so, I answered an ad for a 67 Grand Parisienne. When I got there, I found a 2 door hardtop, no engine in it. Buckets, console, tilt, 12 bolt posi. I made a deal to buy it for 50 bucks, and w...
