History
This will be my son's first car. He is 15 and can't wait to drive it to high school.
1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom (Maroon)
Modifications
Drivetrain
This is the original 326 and sutomatic. We will be pulling it out soon to make place for a '96 Trans Am LT1 and 4L60E overdrive transmission. We have a lot of work to do...
Interior
Most of the interior has been removed. We will need to replace the trunk floor and the front floor on the driver's side. My son want's a more moder n look so we are going back with sport style fron t bucket seats, digital dash, and custom door panels. We will also have a vintage auto air AC/heat system.
Exterior
We are just beginning the deconstruction. Lots of work to do.
Suspension
No pictures yet. We plan to upgrad the power drum brakes to power disk brakes on all 4 wheels. We will lkely be installing a suspension system from Hotchkis or similar. This will include lowering springs. I have not yet decided wheter we will go for the dropped spindles yet.
Wheel and Tire
We are looking a modern versions of the 60's custom wheels. We will likely end up with 18" x 8.5" on all 4 wheels.
