1970 Lemans Build
 
Hello, I am 16 and purchased a 1970 Lemans Sport with a 400ci engine, and near mint interior for $1400.. Going for a deep red or maybe even the original green. Here is a vid of me getting it running.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgqTmFzRdPo
All I did was drop in a battery..

What I like about this car is there aren't many like it. What is there, two pro touring GTO's? How many Camaro's are there? Thousands..

Quarters should be done in about 2 weeks.

Here is my list
Get running[X]
Get brakes working[ ]
Get it street legal[ ]
LSx Engine [ ]
Quarters Replaced[ ]
All other holes replaced[ ]
Frame blasted and painted[ ]
Coil Overs[ ]
Break in those back seats :unibrow: [ ]
04-06 GTO interior swap[ ]
Boze Mesh rims[ ]

Some VERY small pin holes where the wiring goes, and some on the footwells.. Nothing major.. Prolly 5 mins of work, I haven't checked between the front and back seats yet though, but I don't think I will find any.. The floors are REALLY clean cept for those few areas.. I haven't checked under the vinyl, kinda scared, but there isn't any rust around the windows..


The only rust of concern is the listed stuff in the floor, quarters, on edges of doors(not rusted through though), and where the wheel well meets the trunk.. I am probably just going to move the wheel wells over 2 inches to good metal, that way I can fit bigger tires too! :thumbsup: The rest is all surface rust, hopefully I can start sanding today depending on what my boss says.. He is charging me $375 for BOTH quarters to be replaced, plus $350 for both skins..

Cool. Where are you located?

A post car, nice. They are kinda rare and a good platform to build off of, stiffer then a non-post car.

I will be following this thread with great interest!

If you need any Pontiac advice/help let me know.
