    Hello all, my name is Zack I live in sunny San Juan Capistrano and just bought myself a new toy. A 1951 Pontiac Chieftan 4 door wagon resto-rod. It is running a 350 cid / turbo 400 trans / currie 9" rear / disc brakes, 3 tons of fun. I have been a compition offroader for years and got tired of the dirt (thus the name Mogman) so I sold my all my junk and bought the hotrod family wagon.
    I am new to this world and I know nothing about Pontiacs so any help would be great. p1000723.jpg

    Welcome Mogman Zack.

    I really like your Pontiac. Brings back a few memories of the second car of my dads that I can remember - a '52 (I think) Pontiac 4-door, with the fastback roofline. Of course, this was around '56 to '59 when we had it.

    You've got the Barrett-Jackson auction coming up at the fairgrounds down there. Any plans to go? (Hey - it starts tomorrow!)

    p1000736.jpg p1000724.jpg I am having FUN, new door rubber goes in this weekend. Other than that the rig is done, just some elbow grease to clean it up.
    Here is a question: I have a bracket over my spedo bezel with nothing in it, I found a picture online that shows a plate of some sorts kinda looks like a heads up diplay that some new cars have. What am I missing?
    A few more pics
