MY FRIEND HAS SPENT ALOT OF HOURS ON THIS CAR, HE TOOK IT DOWN TO THE FRAME FOR A FULL RESTORATION. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE AN ACE MECHANIC THAT HAS A SPECIALTY IN PONTIAC CARS HE RUNS A BUSINESS DOING THIS, BUT BEING A GOOD FRIEND ALL WORK WAS DONE WITH FIRST RATE ATTENTION AND DIRECTION. ITS A SUPER SHARP CAR AND HE GETS ALOT OF ATTENTION WHERE EVER HE GOES.. ITS KIND OF WHAT I WOULD CALL A SLEEPER, YOU WOULD NOT THINK IT BUT IT A KICK IN REAR TO DRIVE. HE HATES TO GET RID OF IT, BUT DUE TO SOME NEW AVENUES IN LIFE HE NEEDS TO REARRANGE HIS TOY LIST. SO THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOME OTHER TOYS. IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, GIVEN A TON OF TLC AND ATTENTION. IT HAS BEEN A MULTI YEAR PROCESS TO GET THIS CAR TO ITS PRESENT CONDITION. I HAVE SPENT LOTS OF HOURS COMBING JUNK YARDS FOR JUST THE RIGHT PERIOD CORRECT PART FOR JUST THE RIGHT SECTION, HOWEVER THIS PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE TIME HE SPENT LOOKING THRU EBAY, CRAIGSLIST, CATALOGS AND MORE TO FIND JUST THE RIGHT NEW PART FOR JUST THE RIGHT LOOK.
