[Marauder]

Hey all, I just discovered this site and am stoked that it exists. I picked up my '69 GTO ragtop a year and a half ago and have been in the process of making it more fun to drive. I have been rather torn in my decisions to add aftermarket components and alter the car since it was almost totally stock when I bought it however the fun factor just wasn't there for me so she's becoming a "pro-touring machine".

This is what she's got to date:
Hotchkiss front and rear sway bars
Upper and lower trailing arms and front springs

The engine is at the speed shop now and the 400 has become a 455 with all the goodies including a roller cam and custom dished pistons.

We swapped out the TH400 for a built 7004R and have a 3:42 posi rear.

The pictures don't show it bit I visted Boyd Coddington's shop and had them make me a set of Junkyard Dawgs. 17" x 10" for the back and 17" x 8's for the front. 285/40s in back and probably 255/45s in the front.

After the motor is in I'll be making decisons on brakes and will probably look to the group for some advise. I'm interested in the Baer 13" setup right now.....

Oh yeah, the exhaust is all new with Ram Air Restoration's 2-1/2" exhaust manifolds, down pipes, x-pipe and Dynomax mufflers.

It's coming along.......
