Bill tells us about his Pontiac:
        I bought this car in October 1992 for $450.00. It was sort of complete but extremely rusty! It was way too far gone to even consider restoring to original and besides, I like street rods and customs better anyway.
        The inner rear fenders and trunk innards were not really there so I rebuilt them. I got NOS rear fenders, molded them in and rolled the rear pan under. (The bumper was bent badly.) I also had to rebuild complete rocker panels and quarter panels. The frame also had rust through in front of the rear axle and needed repair and boxing.
        I worked on it for 5-1/2 years and just got it on the road this summer. Drove it 4k miles in 4 months. It is very comfortable to drive and we're enjoying it finally. Hope you like it too! We'll be in Buffalo for 1999. See you there?

Bill- Thanks for mailing the photos. I have them all scanned so if you have access to a computer, Email me the address and I will send the image files there. I can send them in bigger versions. I plan to use all of the images in the new

For the rest of you just wait until you see the rear view on this custom! It must have been a ton of work. Thanks Bill for saving this one!   Are there any before pictures?  - Don
