    Greetings all! I'm the new owner of a 1950 Pontiac "tin woody," my first project car. (My parents were Pontiac wagon owners from that era well into the 1990s so something must have stuck.) It will be needing paint and body work, all new glass, and a new interior. I'll surely be needing advice once in a while. Will post photos as available. Best wishes.

    Yes, all the mechanicals are stock: straight 8 engine, Hydramatic, 6-volt electrical system, etc. Previous owner redid the radiator, fuel lines and gas tank, brakes. Lots of other things left to fix, including heater and related vent fan, wipers, radio, doorlocks, window mechanisms (manual), plus paint, interior, and all glass. It'll keep me out of trouble for awhile.
