keith, i just read about your dad and pontiac. i knew bobby jordon in south alabama. he had (has) a few of those pontiac lightweights with the holes cut in the frames and funky wheels. he also had a early 67/68? trans am looking firebird that had some special treatments to it also. i couldnt look under it as the fireants had control.
bobby and his son were running jordons machine shop just north of dothan, al., and were nearest neighbors to my shop, which did performance motorcycles. i would hire them for some machine or welding at times and always had a good visit.got to hear lots of history about bobby running older pontiacs at daytona beach.
they still did a lot of heads and engine builds. this was from 2005 thru 2010.
thought that might be of interest, and another lead for info on your writings.
