Projects This 62 Poncho was calling my name !!!

Well Marshall , reset the timing is was advanced more than he liked, put in 180 t-stat( we had a defective t-stat also) But she seems really happy, just running around 200, from what I've been told that temp isn't wrong on a Pontiac, heck our 2007 Chevy work truck runs at 200 all day... So I got behind the wheel for the first time and man was I happy.... Time to start thinking about giving her a name... Need to cross the exhaust off the list, and figure out the horns, bought a new horn relay with no luck... I guess in time...

 

Looks SWEET!

 

Thanks , I'm really liking it alot !... can't wait to sort the exhaust out and fix the horns.

 

Three........inch........lowering........blocks

The best $600 I EVER spent on my 62 Poncho!!!!

call me old , but I don't think I will be lowering this one anytime soon...
Towing duties ahead, and push car duties also...

 

Nothing too drastic.....just enough to get the tops of the tyres inside the wheel arches.

Oh.....and when I said 'blocks'....I actually meant coils.

 

15x7 front and back. The rears are pretty tight. Still up in the air on lowering at this time. I may bend to pier pressure!

 

Noooooo don't do it.
It will have a badass rake with a trailer in tow anyway. Haha.

My .02 save the money for a lowering job and invest it in a roof rack and a old pair of M&H's or Goodyear blue streaks and a hunk of 2x12 for the front bumper.





I know it's a mopar but all I could scrounge up at the moment.

 

I've seen that picture before, I had those original Gragar S/S tri-bar center caps(not the repops) Should have kept them... It will be getting a removable front pushbar, looking for a rack that I can take on & off. Won't be drilling any holes for a rack for sure...

 

I was always gonna lower mine, but when I actually did.....holy sheeet!!!!

Just a day and night difference!

Surely this is one of your favourite pix????

Thank you Mr.King !

 

Well the exhaust will be done this Saturday at CJ's, and the horns are working (big deal huh !) LOL . I really want to say a big THANK YOU to Marshall and Gary with Thunfield Rod and Custom for all the hard work they put into my wagon... Marshall has a great shop ! Now that it is running I can clean 20 years of grime off it, pressure wash the wheel wells, Happy 4th of July to all the HAMB !

 

Bad ass man I got a 62 grand prix a few months back!

 

Getting new exhaust as I'm posting this little blurb, thanks to CJ's in U.P

 

Cool, almost ready for a road trip.

 

so exhaust is done, and since the ole wagon hadn't been really washed in 20 years.... stopped by and made a $20.00 donation and had her washed.
Exhaust sounds great, and polished the stainless up and the bumpers, front grilles... she is happy ! Need to see why I dont have dash lights, maybe a fuse or just burned out bulbs... some small things to fix.

 

No really, I hadn't washed since I bought it. But i got sun burned yesterday polishing stainless and chrome.

 

Looks great ! more pics pleasee!

 

Will post a few more tonight.

 

Love it! How about a video of the car? I wanna HEAR it run!
