1968 gto new build

[68progoat]

New to the site as a true member. Have taken a few peeks at some of the builds and info on a few of my other builds.
This will be my first Pontiac and am finding that everything is double a Chevrolet.
Picked the car a few weeks ago and in short order found a really complete and solid car.
Factory 360hp 400 with the 400 trans. his/hers shifter AC car. Cameo ivory with pearl parchment interior "white on white"
Trying to have it ready for Pigeon Forge Rod Run TN and Food lion auto fair in Charlotte NC.
All suggestions welcome.

This is what I am starting with. Trunk pan was botched at some point. I will start there.
NPD offers a nice two piece pan.

Wheels will be gone very shortly. Going with US MAGS Rambler 20x8.5 and 20x10.
As far as the engine I will run the 400ci untill it I find a deal on the LS.
Just added 4 wheel 13 inch disk brakes.
looking for some bigger sway bars and a powertrax locker for the rear end.

What changed your mind? I like what you chose quite a bit. What direction are you going with your suspension?

I have built a number of Pontiacs, love them, used to think they were expensive until I started doing AMC cars LOL

Wanted a two piece wheel . Us mag has the rambler in a 2 piece but you have to mortage your house to buy them.
I have bmr springs , upper and lower control arms, trailing arms. Getting ready to purchase the 1.25 anti roll in the rear .
