My Car
71 sportsroof, 351C 2V, FMX, 3.50 9" Getting a 72 351C HO
67 Cougar A code with a 351C 2v.
65-70-72 GTO along with a dozen other Pontiacs.
The build thread I started is in the interior section now, not sure where to continue it. I am back on it now, have parts on the way and I figured I would share with you guys. I'll have lots of video of it since I am doing it for my YT channel too. If its not cool to post YT video here, I'll just upload it locally.

I called it the Pit of Despair, and I started work on it in 2005, had to stop in 2007, then had to move in 2013 and rebuild my life. Now I have a much better shop with a lift, and my skills have improved a little bit. I need to get it done kinda fast so I can get to other builds. So rather than making it a show car or something its going to be low buck but well done and as reliable as I can make it. Only a handful of upgrades, like Granada discs up front, and maybe 4V heads.

Lets see who remembers this thing.

You'll fit in well here once again. Our love/hate for these cars never goes away. At least not for long.
I've liked them since the 80s, even though I am not a HUGE fan, I think they are cool. I am more of a GTO type. I have four of those, one is worse than this Mustang was (its a 69 GTO). The black one with the blower is a LeMans I built just because why not. Also have a 67 Cougar and a 92 F150 I should rebuild. It was a good truck. Not a fan of chevys, but I really like Cleveland and Pontiac engines.

No I am not rich, I am old and have had most of these for a long time.
