Dan, have you ever tried this stuff? If so, how did it work for you? https://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/classiccarpartsdetail.aspx?partNumber=PT6800Z

Looks great. Are you spraying the primer in your garage? Would be curious to see your setup...

Okay, I will ask around. Have you called this place yet? Lots of good stuff at reasonable prices... http://frankspontiacparts.com

Okay. I am going to head to the salvage yard soon. I know there are several Pontiacs there. What models have the item you need?

Okay. Keep me in mind if you need anything that I might be able to help with. I am in the Phoenix area so I could check out whatever you might find available out my way. I know of a 421SD complete engine for sale.....that could be pretty cool. :). We both are working on Pontiac...

Excellent work! Inspiring actually.... Haven't had time to read the entire thread yet....are you looking for wheels? If so, there some for sale locally according to this CL ad https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/5216984433.html Let me know if you would like me to look at them for you...

Looks like it's going to be a real nice one. Great to see these cars being saved. :)

Our red interior '61 Bel Air had a white fabric headliner that looked a bit like a basket weave print. We replaced it with something very similar that Ciadella was able to find. It wasn't exact....but very very close. One would need the original material to hold up against the new material to...

The pre-punched holes in our '61 new floors did not line up with the existing bolt locations either. In our case, I left the original floor braces in place since they were in good shape. I positioned the new floor in place and marked the holes from underneath and then drilled out the pans to...

Well, I had no idea how much these cars are in demand or of their value. We had ours appraised and I was quite surprised at the figure....we then had two serious offers to buy the car but like I said before...it's not for sale. Our dad has been enjoying the car quite a bit lately. He...

I purchased a tank from Impala Bobs for a reasonable price. They had it in stock so I just picked it up on my way home from work which was super convenient for me (plus I was able to avoid shipping charges). They gave me a choice of a galvanized finish or something else that could be...

Cecil, I don't know the answer to your question but I thought I saw a '60 El Camino at Desert Valley Auto on Happy Valley Road. It had what looked like a good front seat if I remember correctly...

Following up with the resolution to this issue... I took the cover off the new voltage regulator and it wasn't adjustable....at least not like the OEM units are (via adjusting screw in the coil base). So, I just removed it from the car and returned it to Auto Zone. I then ordered a new...

Thanks for the reply. I did polarize the generator using the method you describe. Same method was listed with the instructions in the relay as well as the shop manual so I figure it's working well. If I try the 'briefly ground the field' test per the shop manual, then generator output...

I am looking for help to solve a problem I am having with our '61 Bel Air. At idle, or even elevated idle....the charging system doesn't 'wake up' (best description for behavior that I am observing...). I have an amp gauge and volt meter connected the battery sits right around 12.4-12.7...
