installed the tail light panel into the 66. this is by far, no easy conversion. the cutting and welding add up to about 10hrs, but well worth it. before and after .

Nice job, I always wondered how and if that could even be done.
Good thing the front end won't be so difficult!

Looks rather sinister, even unfinished...

It's tough to beat the look of a 66 GP rear panel. Not many look nicer...

lots of cutting on this one, there is zero rot on this car anywhere. a little bit of rot would have prolly saved me about 4-5 zip discs. lol

Is that the guy in Cannington? He has a lot of Pontiacs. I think he did the cross Canada tour this past summer in a 66 Parisienne 2 dr ht with the GP taillights. Looked great.

There's a guy somewhat local to me here who used to have a parts car. I haven't run into him in a couple of years but I think I have his contact info, I could check if he still has it.
