Fabricated and mocked up my little hideaway nitrous arm and purge switch panel in the ashtray.

The two least favorite parts of a hot rod build - AC hoses and brake lines - has had me procrastinating since returning from vacation a few weeks ago. Starting to map out hose routing and will be making some AC hoses here shortly.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
It's cool that you are running A/C...
No pun intended.. I dont have any creature comforts planned for my trucks like that, but starting to have second thoughts. So, what compressor setup are you running? Doesn't look factory Pontiac. |
Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! Yep, request from the wife after I decided on the ignition and fabricated the motor plate mount...ugh. The drive system ended up being way more complicated than expected. Because of the crank trigger and the front motor plate spacing in accommodating the serpentine drive, I had to fabricate all sorts of new spacers and adapters, etc. It's a Vintage Air kit.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
I have a friend who opted to go with genuine Pontiac power.
He wants A/C and we're seeking original V-belt A/C parts. My prostreet/protouring truck will be a minimalist truck having only power steering. Being from the Phoenix area, heat isn't much of an issue to me... :-) |

Got the AC hoses routed and installed, so I was able to re-mount the grill, hopefully for the last time. LOL

Love your build Vin63 :metal: Question, looking at one of your interior pics I see a hat holder bracket that mounts on your rear mirror. Where can I find one of those? thanx.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
After replacing my old (20+ years old and several Pontiac builds) Tilton Pontiac starter that finally gave up the ghost with an IMI Hi Torque Performance Products starter (anytime I have to buy a new starter, I buy an IMI Hi Torque one), I hit the ignition switch today and voila! The Poncho C10 is alive.
|
Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Nice to see it alive...
What's the build time on it so far.. seems as if its been awhile.. |
Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! Yep, it has been...11 years on the back burner. I built and ran a nitro Funny Car to set a Pontiac recored, restored a 63 Pontiac Tempest and Buick Riviera, and now a AA/Fuel Altered within that time frame. LOL

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
I like the dark green with the gold colored wheels. It provides great contrast...

Thanks! My buddy did a photoshoot with the lovely Emily Sherer before the shop truck sustains wear and tear from our terrible SoCal roads.

Since almost everything else got cancelled, here are a few photos when I took the Poncho C10 to the Grand National Roadster Show back in January.
