FInally got mine a good cleaning and took it out Saturday for a drive to the resevoir. Almost done- minor things to work on. A new set of Redline shoes will be coming in Jan.

Thanks guys, I hope to get a little more cruising in- this old yak loves the cool weather- it seems to run harder and I like where the temp gauge stays smile

Good luck. I got caught out in the rain 2 weeks ago. It wasn't unexpected though. The skies were pretty iffy when I left in the morning for the cruise in. I probably wouldn't have gone but It was at the AC Cobra museum and I wanted to put the fear of God into the ford owners. Thank goodness for rain-x.

One of these days I'll have someone record a tire roast. The new motor is still running well. I have gotten it out for a couple several hundred mile runs this summer besides the short trips and it seems to be hanging in there.

Vedoro green is the color. I went slightly darker a shade darker. Never thought that the color would be so nice. I was worried but now I know it was the right decision.

Just wanted to refresh this thread. Link to the video of my new cut-outs. Pretty funny the reaction they get. Mostly smiles from everyone but my wife.😎

Got some pics of the bird on the chassis dyno couple weeks ago at the Torquemasters car club "dyno days", not just the pistons but most of the rest of the car as well.
Only other Pontiac was this very nice Acadian, Canada's version of the Tempest.

Here is my latest pic from a cruise they have once a month in Golden Colorado. I was heading south and saw this on the side of a car wash. The wife got tossed around as I slammed on the brakes and swerved in so I could get a picture.
