That looks insane, now lets see the whole thing hah.
Motor looks amazing along with those headers/exhaust.
Nice work.

Love the exhaust, what does the car weigh?

Your car is so cool, I love modified Pontiacs. I get so tired of seeing all orginal GTO's. I cant swear that mine will never have an LS in it, but right now I am still thrilled by big cube long stroke monster torque pontiac engines. I am more of a straight line performance guys though, and if I were building a bird or any kind of autocross or road racer, it would definitely have an LS in it. I think everything about them is better, especially after I saw what Steve Rupp did with Bad Penny. He has a 461 just like me but his makes 700+ hp! That is such a bad car!

As has already been mentioned your car has been a huge influence. The very first time I saw it, it was like every desire I had for an old american car had been realized in your car. I will say you were the first person who opened my eyes to the pro-touring scene and I still like your car the best. I hope when the day comes, that I can actually build my car (65 Plymouth Sport Fury), that it will be even half as nice as what you've built. Nice work.

Thank you I am glad you like the car, I never thought the car would inspire anyone more than me. I hope you can build your car the way you want.

Nice job! I love it! I think I'm going to go a similar direction with my Chevelle, but I intend to stick with a BBC (aluminum though).

Thank you, good idea keep it light as possible the aluminum block will probaly save you about 100 pounds plus it will run cooler.

Thank you, believe it or not before I purchased my 64 back in 1984 I was trying to buy a 67 gto it was white with a black hard top, the car was in great shape but it needed a refresh in the interior, the price was out of my range and I could not get enough money to buy it and then eventually I came across the 64 the rest is history

Well, that would have been something to see a 67 done up like your 64 is! I am a big fan of 64-70 GTOs and I especially love a good pro-touring version, and yours is all out. You were pro-touring when pro-touring wuddn't cool!

Man Don
Very nicely done. I do have a ?,
I looked but didn't see were anybody ask or you said, but were are the side mirrors from? are they production or aftermarket?
I have been looking for some thing that is big enough to see out of an look descent.
Its hard to tell in the pics but do the mount to the door or the window frame?

Also thanks for sharing ,We really like your car if you cant tell. LOL!!

Thank you, The mirrors are from street scene, they fit a 94 gmc yukon. One day in the garage I was trying to figure out the mirror and I owned a 94 yukon at the time and I said the window frame had about the same angle to it let me see if they would bolt up I took one mirror off the truck and they were close to what I needed. I bought these from Summit racing and I like the mirror because they are fixed but you can adjust the glass inside the body so at speed they do not move around. I welded a piece of metal between the door and the window frame and they bolt up to that piece of metal.
