Just want to say thanks to DC.com

[1965gp]

Put my 69 in the local Autorama today and just wanted to say a quick thanks to the DC.com community. Being a Pontiac guy there is are a lot of unknowns for me on a project like this. Every question I had or part I needed someone came through with a solution. Car isn't done- still have drivability issues (firecore here I come) but seeing the car complete and cleaned up it reminded me of how far the car has come and all of the knowledge I was able to pick up here.

Here are some pics of the 69 with the wife's TA:







Thanks,

Jeremy

I've been saying thanks to the members here for 9 years!   

Can only imagine what it'd be like trying to restore a car using only local contacts, a Hemmings magazine, a telephone and Canada Post and USPS.    

The two cars look fantastic - well done!

I like your wife's car too.

[Daytona R/T SE]

I want your wife's TA.

That's probably one of the best GL displays I've seen in a long time. 

Nice cars, they look great!

Great display!!! Always had a soft spot for the late 70s TAs!

Have lots of folks here that I owe quite a bit to, hope to be able to pay it all back or forward.

Very nice display!  I'm glad you made it in time.

Thanks guys- originally i was going to be part of a bigger display from the shop that painted it but they ran out of time. I was trying to find a way to go with the country theme and not spend a ton of cash. All in all the display cost about $150 not including the posters or the vintage Coors crate.

Surprised that they gave me a spot right as you walk in- can't miss 'em.

I remember restoring cars in high school with Hemings and local clubs. It's a double edged sword. I think restored cars are the highest quality they have ever been- the amount of knowledge, photos and tips online is staggering.

25 years ago you went to junk yards, dug for parts, hung out with friends and older fans of the same car learning what to do and how to do it. I really miss the junk yards...

Wow, that's a nice combination to have in the garage. I think you need a red 75 Grand Torino next.

I want your wife's TA.

Me three!!

With the 7 mpg 460 that made a whopping 170 HP.

Yes....I've been a closet Trans Am lover for a long time.     Thankfully I'm "out of the closet" - - and hopefully (someday) I'll have one!

I can say without a doubt the General Lee gets more attention than the TA. Still kinda hard to believe it my car.

Your cars and display look awesome..... I to miss junkyards. For one whole summer a friend of mine that was into 65 66 impalas used to go to a different one every Saturday .rain or shine. Man that was fun. I found my first roll dial am/fm radio for my Charger for 40.00......

Yes....I've been a closet Trans Am lover for a long time.     Thankfully I'm "out of the closet" - - and hopefully (someday) I'll have one!  

Some guy wanted to trade me his smokey and bandit trans am for my charger the  he threw in there, i needed 5k added because my trans am is more rare than a 68 charger.


I was like huh? 

And i didnt even start no conversation with trade or sell he just walked up to me to tell me how awesome his car was and said off da bat i need 5k.
