Thread: Canadian with a 50 Pontiac...

Tweet

Hey guys, haven't been here in ages mostly lurking around taking bits of information as I go. So I finally decided to make myself known. I'm Colin, and I'm a caroholic... I currently have a 1950 Pontiac Fleetleader that's getting it's finishing touches to hopefully get a drive in before fall. I'll try to contribute when I can. Thanks for lookin'...

Few more pics... Shhhhh... it's a sleeper...

That's a good looking tin Indian. Nice Pontiac. Keep up the pictures for us guys.

nice frame work car is looking good . i used the ford 9 in my 50 chevy to many part s look to be the same .i did move the stock springs in and took off the lower lip on the bottom of the frame . i did not move the rails in wish i did so i run a bit smaller tire T/A BF 275/6015 .did not have the hart to cut up the solid truck floor. every thing you did looks great

Nice old Poncho and some very nice frame and suspension work on the car!!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys, it's soooo close I can almost drive it. Gotta mount the rad and fans, clean up some wiring and get it through an inspection. I wanted to run a big tire out back but not M/T size. I had Wheel Vintiques make up the Billet Smoothies in 17x8 & 17x11 to fit a 335/35/17 out back. Most people don't notice that the wheels are 17's, and that it's got that much tire hiding under it!! Can't wait to get it out to the track, and on the street!!

Hey Pat, what size of a rad did you end up using (make rough dim) and elec fan I'm guessing?
