Lookin' good, Tony! You spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Attention to detail here pays a lot of dividends.

 

Thanks Larry. It's the little things for me . I put a whole wiring harness in.

 

Thanks man for your service and that is one sweet Pontiac.....love the trunk decorations!

 

Hi Tony
I followed your threads on your poncho build , Very nice ride
I myself am in the process of resurrecting my dads 51 2dr hardtop chieftain
I was wandering what size rims and tires you used on your build
Thanks in advance Russ

 

The first car I can remember my parents owning was a pea green 51 4 dr. long about 57.
BTW Be careful of the women in the truck thing, if you forget about one of 'em, she'll start to smell in a few days, then the cops show up.

 

Tony hasn't been to the HAMB since August, but we're both livin' in the same neck of the woods and he and his honey are out quite often, either in the Poncho or his big Lincoln.
