About me and what this blog is...

Hello everyone, my friend has owned a 36 pontiac 2 door coupe for 20+ years and was missing a ton of parts and probably thought he would never be able to finish it.  Well he ended up finding a 36 pontiac 4 door (on a running chassis although it still needed a total restoration).  He bought it from New York, trailored it back home, and took the best of both cars to try and put together a mostly original car.  Well luckily for me, he liked the 2 door better and I liked the 4 door better so I bought the 4 door and all left over parts from him to make a hot rod (my goal isn't a super race car, I want it to look mostly factory driving down the street, however I want it to have some power (more than the original 80 hp's that the flathead 6 came with), and some modern luxeries on the interior as well as under the hood.

I'm starting this blog a little late as i've already been working on the car for maybe 5-6 weeks off and on, however I thought that a blog might be a better way to track and show my progress.  Also I figured it would be better that I can update this blog with my progress, only share the blog address to my friends and people I trust who can see my updates and not have to worry about someone I used to go to school with on facebook breaking in and stealing my shit.

So that's the why this blog, now about me.  I guess some people would call me a "jack of all trades master of few".  Professionally i'm an IT Manager and I love everything having to do with computers and technology.  I also dabbled in the civil engineering/surveying field for a decade and I still love using autocad to do dumb things around the house, map out my dumb games I play, etc.  It's a terrific program with so many uses.  I have some heavy construction background as well, but not much in the automotive field.   All of the mechanic knowledge I have comes from hanging around my friend's (the one who sold me the car) garage for the past bunch of years in my spare time.

So without further a do, i'll post some pictures of where/what I started from and where I am up to this point.  Here is a pic of what the 4 door looked like when my friend picked it up.
