Thanks guys,I appreciate the feedback. Dale, an early pattern Judge is one of the first 2000 69 Judges built by Pontiac shipped out /forced upon Pontiac dealers throughout North America. You have to remember no car manufacturer had ever built a "Flash of Rash" spoilered packaged identity car like the Judge before,so Pontiac handled option content initially their way. The Judge option did not give a buyer much optional content within WT1 Judge option.It was however,relatively inexpensive that Pontiac hoped buyers would load up their new Judge's with the good options. The Judge option only gave you rear spoiler, decals ,emblems, Ram Air III 400 and dechromed Pontiac rally II wheels with G70-14 Black wall tires.Standard was HD manual 3 speed on floor and 3.55 open rear axle manual steering and brakes. Pontiac chose to option all the first 2000 Judges they way they felt all Judges should be ordered. All were Carousel red (Hugger orange) Ram air III,M20 4 speed or THM 400 auto, 3.55 posi,hood tach,rally Gauges ,console, PS,PDB,Deluxe belts and full tinted glass. ---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ---------- John Maybe 2014, that is up to their owner's.
Rich, are you going to stay with the bare rear end look or will it get the black spray from behind treatment?
Dave They will remain like you see them, bare ,no blackout treatment. If you go to my website, you will see that I bodywork every part on the car ie control arms, complete rear axle housing, frames, underbelly of car to get metal free of pits so top coat finish is flat and appears like it is an hour off assemby line. Not all A Body cars got the black out fog treatment,I have done it before, look at the 69 Ram Air IV GTO Judge under "Cars in progress" tab on my website and you will see rear axle assembly looks like these in front and black blows over from back. To cover up all that detail is hard to do, after all that work to get it looking like this, neither of the owners of these two Judge's wanted blackout, so it will not be applied. I have yet to do paint daub and specific decal detail on undercarriages on both of these Judge's, long way to go before these cars are completed.
Richard, Did you rebuild the original spiral shock absorbers or source them from a supplier? I love the attention to detail, everything looks great! Keep it up. Thanks :TU:
They are being reproduced but I know at one time they leaked after a short period but I have not seen anything in a long while about it.<o></o>
