#1964 pontiac tempest Patch
I have access to a laser cutter and brake press, so I've been thinking about making a patch for it and welding it in. I've been really pondering what to do with the trunk lid. Before I prime I'm going to cover the inside of the support and other areas with POR15 or similar type product to convert the rust. I don't want to warp or bend any of the currently extremely flat hood. Tomorrow, I'm going to sand blast the areas of the support structure that you can see but are hard to hit with a wire brush. For the under side of the hood skin, I used a DA sander. Did you buy those direct from Dynacorn or from a dealer? I have looked though the dynacorn webpage and didn't find a one piece trunk floor like yours for a '64.Īlso, I used the wire brush on the rust under the hood and only on the support structure.
I've read through your restoration thread and really liked the trunk floor and fenders you bought. The 1 piece will eliminate a HUGE amount of time spent welding, grinding and the risk of heat warp over a multiple piece kit. I haven't welded mine in yet, but the fit is very good. It is a recent release from Dynacorn just for the Pontiac models and doesn't need modification like the Buick floor that was the only one available until this year. Trunk floor.I got a 1 piece replacement with all the braces attached for my 67. If you start trying to weld in patches, you'll most likely loose the whole lip. I would then use a brushable seam sealer to cover/fill the few holes and paint. I would wire brush it and spray inside and out with the converter. You can prime and paint right over the converter. The spray will get under the braces too and stop the rust. You'll never get it all with a sander and the risk of heat warp is too great. I would've left the surface rust alone on the underside of the hood and sprayed it with a rust converter, such as Eastwood Rust Stop. Nice car, nice thread, nice progress.:cheersĬouple comments. The idea is to do a really nice frame-off restoration without modifying the car to a point that it would be impossible to return it to stock as-built condition.Īm I keeping track of cost, will keep you guys updated on that side of the project from time to time. I have a GTO hood for it, but am going to restore and fully finish both so that I can switch between them as I feel. An uncle put the GTO tags on it, which will be removed and the holes filled. I also am going to paint the front grilles like a GTO would be painted, the unpainted Tempest ones are a little too shiny (personal preference).
I am leaving the Tempest Custom chrome trim that runs the length of the car it is in great shape. Since it is a Tempest I'm going to take a few small liberties and delete the three trim pieces on the front fenders, I am not going to put any tempest tags on the car (no gto tags either). I am leaving it as a Tempest Custom with a few exceptions. I need to have the car PHS documented (not sure if that will tell me but it needs to be done). To see over 80 photos of the car, including under carriage please visit our website the rocker moldings, I am not sure on the originality without having the wheel moldings. The other being a 280 hp 326 HO engine with a four-barrel carburetor which required premium fuel. One a two-barrel 250 hp regular fuel option. Optional engines included two versions of the 326ci Pontiac V8 introduced the previous year. Replacing the previous "Trophy 4" inline four-cylinder engine as standard equipment was a new 215ci Pontiac straight six with one-barrel carburetor. The unibody, curved driveshaft and transaxle were gone, replaced by a traditional front engine, front transmission, body-on-frame, and solid rear axle design used by all of GM's other cars but the Corvette and Corvair. In 1964, the Tempest was redesigned as a more-conventional vehicle and enlarged from a compact to an intermediate-sized car. Please call or email us today for more information on this vehicle. If you're in the market for an exceptional piece of American muscle you will be hard pressed to find a better example. Additionally, this example comes with a upgraded Alpine stereo, Crager wheels, upgraded suspension and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. Features of the Tempest include front disc brakes, power steering and working heat.

A full restoration is believed to have been completed by the previous owner. Powering this American icon is a strong 326ci V8 motor mated to a stout 2-speed automatic transmission. Both the paint and interior are in excellent condition. This absolutely immaculate vehicle comes in a stunning aqua blue paint job complimented by a matching interior. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this exceptional 1964 Pontiac Tempest.
