2009 Pontiac Solstice,1939 Graham and 1935 Hupmobile Restoration Blog
In this Carz Plus restoration blog we're going to cover 4 of the projects that are very important to us: the Pontiac Solstice, Hupmobile, Graham Combination Coupe, and the 1939 Graham Model 96 also known as "Kenny's Car." And, lastly, you'll see a cute little mouse that is basically a pack rat that wreaks havoc on our Solstice. We're going to cover some details that are small parts of these large projects. Wiring, dome lights, tail lights, fender skirts, grilles and oh, so many nuts and bolts and bits and pieces. Thank you for this opportunity to get all of you up to speed on where we are. So far, it's been a tremendous year.
