I started the ventura late 2005. I thought I was complete, except for a few upgrades. So like many, I "flossed" a little with rims and audio upgades. Early 2007, I "dug in" the interior.(surprises... surprises.)Well now I have gutted not only the interior, but also fenders hood grill bumpers. You get the picture..and if not, check the pics below! More to come in the near future, I promise.

Nice looking ride. Certainly different. I have the same year car. Know what a guy can go through to find certain parts for them. Biggest problem I've had are taillights. Nice thing about them is that a lot of...I'll say it...Nova parts will fit. Don't you just love it when some ignoramus calls it a Nova? Just like calling a Chevrolet a Dodge! Anyway, hold onto that one. Great cars. Very reliable. If you get a moment stop by and check out my '72. Thanks. Smith462.

Hey, How you doin'? You did a great job on the Pontiac. Looks great, even though you put them nasty big wheels on. I guess I'm showin' my age. (57). I went with the old school look. It doesn't take much to change the front to a GTO. It is just finding the GTO grills. They have the parking lights in the grill and they didn't hold up well. If you go with a 74 grill only it will be easier to find. I have all the parts to do mine but I haven't yet. I'm not much of a cloner. I did do the shaker though. Stop by and check mine out. Later, Kenny
