Hi Guys,
I am new to your site but am amazed at the quality of the info here. Most of you are very knowledgable and helpful. Great to see...
My new project...I just recently purchased a 69 GTO retro car...I bought it from a guy who has done most of the "grunt work" so to speak. It has had a frame off...the frame has been boxed and painted with a high gloss paint...Air ride susp and wildwood disc brakes all around have been added. In it sits a 2005 GTO LS2 engine with 6 spd tranny all mounted but not wired yet. There is also a stainless steel tank in it and a moser 9" rear end.
remaining....
Needs interior to be installed. Have most of parts already...dash is the only area I am not sure what to do...do I uses the original holes and replace the gauges or I also have a 2006 Orange gauges from a 2006 GTO that look kewl...do I try to retro that into there? Where is a good place to get the dash redone?... Not sure how to hook up the air yet...not an oringinal air car...i hear vintage air has some nice kits?...No emerg brake...thinking possible pinion brake...also needs a new rad..don't want the old one in there...need a nice aluminum rad...anyone know a good place to get one and what kind?...I am sure there will be much more...also thing of a supercharger...do i go procharger or ???
