  • 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.

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...
