Been a member here for a while just enjoying the wealth of knowledge and ideas. I thought I would post up my current long term project (very long) As the title says its a 68 Goat. Car is meridian turq with the same interior. Originally it was 400 std hp, TH400, AC, PS, PDB. The car was given to me at he age of 15 (see pic) by an uncle. The car had spent its life in the west until I drug it back to E.TN. Upon arrival home I promptly began work. It had a 455 olds in it that hadn't ran in 15 years, and after my dad showing me "points" and cleaning them, primed the carb and it fired up. At that point I wanted to semi restore the car with a Pontiac engine and enjoy. Began by disassembling the front end, cleaning parts, buying pieces ect. I had collected quite abit (enough to just about put the car back on the road when it was brought to my attention that by removing the gas tank and a few body bolts I could really do this right. That sounded great, but became overwhelming in time and cost and the car was put on the back burner. Finished high school, went to college, worked at a dealership, started teaching High School Auto Tech, married, built a house, have three great kids, moved the car from basement, to shop, to barn, to current basement and here I am. Just like many of you $ are limited, but I have no deadline (except before dying). I have owned this car for 16 years now, but have yet to ever drive it. Plans include. c5 brakes, many components from sc&c, original color, real Pontiac drivetrain, and fun with family. First two pics is how I found the car and getting ready to bring it home (I was 15) and the last are my lead technicians:)
