	Pontiac Movie #3 • July, 2009 Euu! That smell! The gas in that tank has probably been there since 1987...back when gas was what...less than 50¢ a gallon. Bob M., Ron O. and Bob L. spend the day under the Pontiac. Check out the background music...some people say that this is some sort of 'religious' experience but maybe it's just we've been sniffing that old gas for too long!

	Pontiac Movie #4 • September, 2009 An oldie but goodie. Bob's dad's porto-power is a miracle tool when it comes to taking out dents in steel. With the press of a button, a strategically placed porto-power does the work for you. Of course it doesn't hurt if you know what you're doing with it in the first place.

	Pontiac Movie #5 • September, 2009 American classic ingenuity. Watching Bob and Rod working on a little dent, makes you realize why their vehicles are so beautiful. They're craftsmen, plain and nothing simple about it. Here Bob uses a tool that screws into a whole and with a few swift moves, it 'pulls' the dent out. Movie is mpg4 Quicktime movie- 7mb.

	Pontiac Movie #6 • June 2010 Nothing Happens...suddenly, now it's painted. Some people are craftsmen and they pride themselves in doing a good, no, let me rephrase that, great job in whatever they do. Rod is a carpenter by trade and he took on the daunting task of painting the Pontiac. As any craftsman knows, it's the prep work that makes the paint shine so Rod also worked on a lot of the bodywork himself too (along with a lot of other 'craftsmen'). Several people showed up to help Rod do the prep work and they even let me (a girl) sand...or do 'grunt work' as I affectionately called it. <- Click picture to the left to open movie. It's a short one. The suspense will get to you though!!
	Pontiac Movie # 7 • August 2010 There's a balance to working on a project like this... Have you ever thought about car doors...who ever thought up the mechanics that goes into the opening, shutting, locking, unlocking, winding, unwinding? All the different mechanics, gracefully balanced and working together. Well, that's the hope anyway. After many, many (how about one more 'many') hours, the doors are almost done and are doing what they're suppose to do. Steve Matthews from Broken Thunder Body Shop joined the guys one morning. He fit and adjusted the doors, which is a tricky proposition. When the doors are fitted properly, the entire side view of the car looks finished...level. Check out how even the doors look in balance with one another and close with a 'click'. Great job Steve! <- Click picture to the left to open movie. Movie is mpg4 Quicktime movie- 8mb.
