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

Thanks! I was able to finish up the interior AC installation and wiring, which allowed me to start wrapping up the interior (and finally got the bench seat out of my office. LOL)

Thanks! Just in case anyone is curious about how the Auto Custom Carpets floor mats fit in our trucks, I received these yesterday. The fit is great, but I still may use a rubber mat to help keep the carpet clean while I'm still trying to finish up this version of the build. The cool under dash courtesy light kit is from Ron Francis Wiring and is a reverse solenoid set up that is wired through the updated RFW headlight switch with the dome light.

66-PMD-GMC · 08-20-2019, 12:26 PM

I found a nice black rubber mat.
Fit is fantastic..
No carpet ever.

Looks good.

Thanks! I was able to do a couple of systems checks in preparation for getting this thing rolling again. Fuel system test and priming the oil system:

Love your build Vin63

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.

Thanks! You can usually find them at horse tack/equestrian supply retailers (we have a horse), or custom/lowrider parts suppliers.

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.

66-PMD-GMC · 09-14-2019, 08:04 PM

Nice to see it alive...
What's the build time on it so far.. seems as if its been awhile..

vin63 · 09-14-2019, 08:12 PM

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

66-PMD-GMC · 09-14-2019, 11:21 PM

Nice work Vin.
Really hope to meet you soon, shake a hand and make a friend.
Steve's pontiac weekend is in 7 weeks. Hope you can make it..absolutely love your truck..
I'll be back on mine soon..

vin63 · 09-21-2019, 07:11 PM

Off the lift, out of my shop, and did a short test drive today. Friends coming over tomorrow to help me get the hood mounted.

A couple more pics my photog buddy took...

vin63 · 09-24-2019, 11:17 AM

The final touch - the hood is on and wired.

**Palf70Step** · 09-24-2019, 11:45 AM

Very nice!!

roll_the_dice · 09-24-2019, 11:53 AM

Congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment. I hope to be making similar videos next month. Enjoy it in good health! Enjoy the smile on your face every time you drive it!

jhrusk · 09-24-2019, 12:32 PM

Very nice.

66-PMD-GMC · 09-24-2019, 02:37 PM

Very cool
Hope you opt to make an appearance at the pontiac weekend.

vin63 · 09-24-2019, 02:43 PM

Thanks! A short clip as I'm heading out for a little spin around the neighborhood.

Great build!!

**Android04** · 09-24-2019, 04:00 PM

Amazing attention to detail! Looks killer.

**youngrodder** · 09-24-2019, 04:19 PM

I like the dark green with the gold colored wheels. It provides great contrast...
