Studhud- After I shared that pic here, I realized that you were the one who posted it on fb!

 

Congrats on finding such a kool project. Keep us posted with your progress.

 

pretty cool! I remember seeing that in the classified ads here in Missoula , must have been 03/04
never went to look at it since I didn't have any cash. kinda wish I had .

 

That's cool ! Lived all my life in iowa. Never seen pics of it before. Thanks for posting !

 

Here's one of the GM cat-aminos from '59 mentioned in post#11.

 

actually the cars were Dodge Darts.... Seneca, Phoenix and Pioneer were trim levels.

 

I dig it! But after staring at the side shot for a while, it looks like the top should be turned around backwards from the way it is. Would make for a much cooler profile. A shit ton of work...but a cooler profile. Photoshop anyone?

 

I see what you're saying, but once the glass is in, it'll look awkward.

 

I thought about that, but I figured once you turn the top around, making a tunneled windshield for the new rear would be small potatoes.

 

Kool man kool,restore it

 

On my way to Lively, VA, last weekend, I passed a early 60 Pontiac, 4 door hardtop for sale, rather beat up. My buddy asked what could you do with that, I reply, maybe make a Pontiac El Camino. With the top being chopped, I would think that a real glass windshield and back window would be quite a project, in itself. Sharp looking design.
