Happy 2008 Full Size Pontiac Lovers! We’re gearing up for another full throttle season of cruising, racing, restoring and whatever else we can make time for. 2008 looks like it will be an exciting year for many reasons. The company I started, Arrowhead Components Inc. Is doing well. The brand new 8 lug drums we manufacture have been well received. Our customers are happy and confident driving their big Ponchos safely again. We’re developing the rear drums as we speak and also working on making an 8 lug “drum” available that will actually mount over your disc brakes. They’re a ways off, but they’re in the works! Keep your eyes on www.arrowheadcomponentsinc.com for further updates!
As some of you may know, Pontiacs aren’t my only passion. Writing, playing and performing music has been one of my true loves for 25 years. A song I wrote about 10 years ago—“Sunday, Sunday, Sunday”--was picked up by our friends at www.arspromotions.com to be used on their drag racing DVDs that they produce.

In October 2007 they asked if we’d be interested in shooting a little video for the song. What do you think a bunch of old, outta shape, rock-star wannabees would say…HELL YES!!! Not only did we have a blast, it ended up being a big hit in the online community. Word got out, attention spread, and a bit of a buzz developed. So much so that a writer/director/producer of a vintage musclecar/racing movie inquired about using our song in his movie soundtrack! No matter what they decide, you simply must go to the movie’s website: www.clutchthemovie.com and sign up to receive the DVD once the movie is released. Jay Rowlands is a true gearhead and is making this independent film on his own shoe-string budget. Let’s give him as much support as we can.
Please also take note that one of our FSPC members, Dave Wanichek, is launching a registry to document as many ’67 2+2s as he can find. If you have a 1967 2+2, please drop Dave a line and click on the button at the left of the homepage.
Last, but certainly not least, the wheels have been set in motion for the 4th annual FSPC Chi-Town Shindig! Keep your eyeballs on the website for an official announcement, but we’re shooting for sometime near the end of May 2008. Two words will help to illustrate this years’ theme…SUPER DUTY!!! I understand that many of you have been unable to view the photos from last year’s Shindig. There must have been some problem with the link. Well, wait no more! Click on the " Spring 2007 " link below to view the historic bash we had last May.
Get out in the garage, get some grease under those fingernails and get those Ponchos ready for another great year on the road!!!
