Yea, I needed another project ran across a 33 pontiac cheap so I had to bring it home. Neat car, great lawn ornament cleaned the points, Jerry rigged an ign switch, and filled fuel bowl with gas.... no shit, it runs...
Dave, That's a lovely car! looks solid. You're going to have to make something nicer for that radiator ! (I think you can do that ) . Just spray in matte clear and drive it!
Yea, I was hoping to just slap some wheels on it and drive it, but the longer it runs the worse it smokes. I'm going to keep running it and see if it clears up after a bit. If it doesn't I'm just going to back burner it for awile. I have too many unfinished projects right now to open up another can of worms....
I've always been impressed with the simplicity and reliability of old cars. It sort of requires a different take on reliability because they more frequently needed maintenance and attention of some kind, but it was usually fairly simple stuff and easily remedied at least to the extent to get you home. It may smoke, but I don't think any car made today will be firing up 92 years from now, smoke or not! Best, Kelly
