I cleaned up my crossmember and installed my 9" and my new/used engine/tranny...

I realized quickly how in-sufficient the stock clutch linkage is. I decided to build some spherical rod end stuff out of the stock stuff....

I added some new tires. I went RWL's. I like them.

I think ill stop here for now. This spring ill be restoring my interior with Legendary auto stock bolstered seats and factory reproduction everywhere else. Ill hopefully be adding an SC&C stage II chassis this summer/fall

Here's a shot of the seats ill be using. Mine will be black.

A very sharp looking GTO you would would be very pleased with the end result. Traded a 66 GTO for a 70 vette big mistake on my part. Enjoy your car

Well I'm fortunate the whole car is like this. Completely rust free. Its an original California car that has lived inside for a long time.

Great looking GTO. Mine is that color too with a manual and no vinyl top. I'm still on the fence of which car to do next after my Camaro, the GTO hardtop or convertible, or one of my Chevelle's.

An ebay company called entropy tech. If I was going to do it over I would have pony'd up and bought a Rodney Red unit and been done. The cutout/welded recess for the hold down clamp on the top of it is kind of off center and i think i have a leak now. It definitely kept the car cool enough for daily driver usage last summer though.

I've had alot of success with Champion Radiators. They are cheap and the quality of the two I have had were great.
