72 TA (clone)

[1965gp]

Wow.... almost three years since I updated this thread!

I got really busy with work in 17/18 and sent the 72 TA to San Antonio to have a friend finish it for me. I git all the suspension on but that was about it. I gave my friend $$ up front and within a little over a year almost nothing got done on the car and the $$ was gone. Rather than risk losing the car- I decided just to drive down and get the damn car.

I took it to a local shop I use that does fantastic work, but it isn’t cheap. At this point I decided that it was time to get the car done. This was early 2019.



The local shop did a great job putting all of the mismatched aftermarket parts in the right places. They got the Kore3 brakes installed, the WS6 steering box and all of the gauges. The car now runs, drives and stops on its own

Here are some photos of when I got it back from the shop. Motor fires right up, speedhut gauges are in, brakes work and the rest I can pretty much do at home

Here are some pics from the past week. I was able to get the carpet in and put the old seats in it- they look pretty good so I am reconsidering if I need to recover them

A few other updates- I’ve decided to put the stripe from the Trans Am in the movie ‘Cannonball’ on the red TA. Very 70’s vibe that I like and it’s something you don’t see all the time.

The 66 GTO is now Tiger Gold, we pulled the motor and are now building a Tri-Power 400 for it.

The K5 is pretty much done. Everything works and has a big stereo in it.

i picked up a 70 GTO convertible that is getting painted now... no shortage of projects!
