The Pontiac LeMans restoration and rusty, bent frame is no problem for Lou. He'll show you how to turn a pressure sprayer into a sandblaster making it easy to remove years of weathering and a basic way to straighten your frame.

Good video, don't know if anyone else noticed, but the car being disassembled appears to be a "66". See 1:30 in video, the "66" & "67" had different grills. In my younger days I owned a "66" Tempest Custom with the Sprint engine. To this it's still the highest top and of any car I have ever owned. Wish I had it back, loved it.

Because he is a loud mouth a hole that will cut in front of you inline , take up 2 parking spaces , illegal park on the sidewalk in front of the muscle head gym because he can't walk across the parking lot.

My moms car in high school was a 67 Pontiac tempest... That is until she started dating my dad and he wrecked it... Then he bought her a 69' charger and yep you guessed it he wrecked it... lol... there was one more car that he bought for her and wrecked... An AMC Pacer ha ha ha... that one almost killed him.... Then he wrecked my brothers 70 thunderbird while he was in basic training.... I would never let him drive (and still won't) anything I own... My mom did pay him back once he had beautiful 72' chevy short bed truck that my mom let burn to the ground when it caught on fire in the driveway..

In other words the VIN of the vehicle was never stamped on the motor, transmission or rear end. More information for you people that don't know about Pontiacs, 64 and 65 the gto was an option on the tempest lemans. Gto was not its own model until 66. This guy doesn't know
