Thread: Another Pontiac for the firebird

Tweet

If the VIN info i got is accurate, plus the grille, it's definitely a 48.

I've been working on my awning, to keep the pontiac dry.
I've slapped some corrugated steel on the outside so only the ends are open. It looks ugly but I've got some ideas..

I got rid of some clutter,and evicted the mower and log splitter. I'll figure that out later. Now I have a lot more fudge factor when backing in.

Today I finished replacing the screws in the roof, cleaning out the garbage from the aluminum corrugated sheet overlaps, and adding extra screws so it doesn't reoccur. Quite a few screws had ripped through. The new screws are larger, and have rubber and steel washers, and shouldn't rip out again.

Now I can figure out what next.

OK, it's time to invoke "pics or it didn't happen "! The change to second generation in '49 was a dramatic change, and it should be obvious if it's first gen or second.

For now, there's no Pontiac, just words!!
