Thanks. I have tones of questions and not many answers as of yet but my hopes are up. The Pontiac I will have soon is new to me and lots to learn. The avatar I have put up is a pic that's about a month old.

I don't know my 50's cars real well (more of a 60's/70's guy) but in looking at your avatar, I'm wondering if that car has some optional front bumper equipment?

Good day 

I have not been on here for a long time. The Pontiac is still mine and she still loves going out for drives. This car will be a lifetime project. when you use them you have to fix them. Its nice to step in to a place I have not been in a long time. Hope everyone is doing well?

Rodger! Great to see you here again. I wondered a few times what had become of you. The rest of us have likely aged but I suppose you're still the young man you were way back when?

It might have been. I dont remember, it was in the Free Press years ago. Funny thing is my Daughter bugs me to take it out. She does all of the work cleaning it up and getting it ready. We go to a Sunday car show here at home and it gets an award. I made Veronica go up to accept it.Shes the one who did all of the work. And to this day that award is still hanging in her room.

I looked back and I can't find a feature for it. Maybe check with Todd and see Rodger. If it's never been featured, now would be a great time!
