tomorrow I'll go to the bodyman shop to help him to fit the Hood, the valence should be painted today for looking the correct color, if OK the car will be painted the next week!!! It's crazy, 8 years later....I don't think I'll run in this year, since I have a heavy summer on foreing visitors, 3 weeks in june, 4 in august, and we will be out 3 in september... but the next winter will be the one of the Pontiac!

Well, these projects usually take 3-4 times longer and cost 3-4 times more than we expected!

Can someone know if Pontiac (canadian) has built a red car with white top like this chevy? I'm planning to put the top red because I never find any informations about a red with white top 53 Pontiac. I've look over the web but I'm not convinced!!

 

thanks

 

Fitz.

Hey Fitz
Can you PM or post a closer look at how you painted your engine?
I finally got the colour (Jade Green stove paint) but I know some parts are black. Are those just the starter, generator, etc. or are the valve cover plates and water pump black?
Also my rear bumper brackets went missing- are those in your photos from the rear so I know what I'm looking for ( and are '50's the same) ?
Thanks- your car looks amazing so far. I think I have you beat though -mine is in year 36 of restoration!!

An amazing journey so far in the "proper" restoration of a sweet 53 Poncho. Fitz you no doubt are a man of great patience and skill. Continued good luck with your labor of love. Looking forward to further updates. Cheers. George.

right now I don't have the paint code #, but it's a mix to match the same red as the one offered in 53 for the Pontiac. To be true, there was 2 red offered, but the other one was like burgundy.

 

Will let you know as soon as I'll get the code #.

...see what Fitz comes up with , but looking at the pics I'd say the Victory is more orangey than his 53 color. I like the 53 better.  Here my 58 in 71 corvett red  .
