Hey everyone,

It was recommended I post a hello here or get crucified, so given the alternative, this seemed easier. :D

I'm working on a 1973 Pontiac Parisienne 4 door HT which is a Canada only Pontiac. It's basically our equivalent to US Impalas.

Got it on the cheap from the original owner with only 37K miles, so I couldn't resist.

Yo...Nice to meet you. I'm sure the car is cool...but a little new for the HAMB...but there's no reason why you can't stay and learn...just change the '73 to '63 and nobody will know the difference...:) You might catch some flak for the '73 Poncho, just take it like a man and we'll all move on...:)

I hardly mention my '75 Monte Carlo...whoops!!!

Yeah, it is a little new, I know, but it was within the toy budget and was all there and needed hardly anything, so I thought it'd be a good place to start. Eventually what I would like to get is either a '60 Pontiac or Olds bubbletop. Oh how I love those cars... One day it will be mine...

'75 Monte, sweet!

Well I'm sure not everyone would like it, but I lowered the front (to match the rear end that had sagged over the years) and I have it on 20" wires. It looks pretty good... No hydros as I'm doing it on a budget and I like the ride height as it is. I chopped about a coil and a half off the front to level the ride and it worked out well.

I'm doing sort of a Hawaiian/surf theme on it. I like big cars that no one in their right mind would want because you hardly ever see them on the road. Even in it's unfinished state it gets a ton of looks rolling on 20s. Paint and finishing work to come in the spring (money permitting).
