1966 pontiac parisienne body work fun
Permalink  

Well started poking around the body a little more thoroughly. And I'm finding some fun spot to work on this winter. Honestly the car is almost 60 years old and I got it for under 5k I'd be surprised if I didn't find this kind of "body work" do we have any sources for rear quarter panels at all?

Very common on these cars I'm afraid.

There is a guy who has been posting in some Pontiac Facebook groups who hand makes these panels. I can look for his contact info if you like. I know he's in the US but not sure where.

Hey 427 if you are in winnipeg do you goto any of the cruise nights I wouldn't mind getting some pictures of the original panel shapes, and maybe some tracing of the original contours.

 I don't come in too often but if you ever feel like a drive to Morris I'm only 35 minutes from the Perimeter.

Pretty typical for a 66, sadly.

 Good job on both topics!

As much as I want to encourage you with the panels because they look great, I want to encourage you even more to quit smoking!

Think of all the car parts you can buy from the money saved by not buying smokes!

Thanks took a bit one the first one ended up whipping the other side up in about 2 hours. The rest of my time was spent vacuuming out spray foam and filling panels with rust prevention

I know. All those sweet sweet speed parts lol
