 Ok let's try what I actually meant (although the first try was not bad in a weird way 

"discipline"

Hard to believe but i used to win spelling bees about 40 years ago.

It's just the body failing these days.

Hey grantR,

Sorry, but I did not know where else to post this picture of the 4, 14" full wheel discs that I PM'd you about earlier.  As I said, the centers can be removed.  I'm not certain as to exactly what year of Pontiac they belong to, but I'm confident that someone on this site will help identify them.  --Pritch--

OK!   Thanks to a weekend with no family and the extra hour I got back I finally managed to get the front end together. I'm pretty happy with it but now I need my hood (bonnet) back.   I stuck T3's in (for now?).  Lots left to do but at least it looks like a car now.

I just stuck in the lights temporarily as I stil have to work on the wiring harness, but I really wanted to see what the old girl looked like again. Pretty darn cute alright!  Would be nice to see it with thehood  (bonnet) on though.  I'll have to send these pics to my body man and prod him a bit...

Looks great Ken...I know you painted the grilles, did you need to do anything to the grille surrounds (I don't know the proper name) too?

Once I found a couple that weren't too bad i just cleaned them up and repainted the inner surfaces.  I ws hoping to use Rally wheel paint but I didn't have so i went to the local parts store and got some flat aluminium paint.  How long it'll stick it don't know but I scrubbed it up a bit to try and make it adhere.
