Hello All,
Thought I would write a few lines about myself and my ’62 Pontiac (photo below) which is a recent purchase. I bought my first car when I was 16, the car was twice my age, it was a 1930 Ford Model A, 5 window coupe that I drove through high school and first year of college. My younger brother and I had a blast with that car, wish I still had it! Since then I’ve had two other model A’s, several neat old cars and more than a few rag-top sport cars.
I bought this car with the intention of making up a little “hot rod” out of it, you know bob the rear fenders, lose the running boards, motorcycle fenders on the front it should end up OK. On the other hand, it sure would look good as a Mercedes roadster! This car is all metal, it was fabricated on a modified 1962 Pontiac Ventura frame, it has a 2bbl 389 with an auto transmission and will smoke the tires all most too easily.
So take a look at my project and tell me what you think I should do, I welcome suggestions, comments and ideas.
Thanks,
