Awesome job. One of these years mine will be done...

Now what does your wife say about you using her nice towels for floor mats?

This was the hardest and most expensive car i have ever had to restore. 1 of 88 ever made, 1 of 24 California cars, 1 of 15 4 speeds, 1 of 9 in white, 1 of how many with so few options. There were so many 1 off parts for this year it mamakes you sick. We short cut nothing so it was expensive. It has the correct Ram Air IV block, intake, California carburetor, head bolts, manifolds, radiator and it took 2 years to find the California gas tank. It was the biggest pain to restore that i wouldn't suggest anyone restoring a 1970 unless you have a lot of money or a donor car. It took 3 years and an awful lot of patience to restore. It is absolutely gorgeous and the first and last Pontiac Chuck and Paul will restore. If it weren't so rare and it wasn't me they wouldn't have done it. Thanks God it took BEST IN CLASS 2ND GENERATION at the TRANS AM NATIONALS! The Baldwin Motion car is soon to be started. I will update it when i get something done.

I can agree with you on the cost of restoring these 2nd gen cars. Even my lowly, commonplace 72 T/A (1 of 458 455HO 4-speeds) is getting pretty darn close to the 80% of six figure cost in the restoration already. And that's with me having done everything but the body.

They do look nice when done, though!

Congrats on the awards. Now drive the darn thing!
