Update on 72 GTO convertible
I've been stocking up one parts and since I have no room in my garage anymore I went to work on the Goat. I installed my Hotchckis TVS extreme sway bar kit today, well I did the rear only. I am waiting for upper ball joints and then I will tear into the front suspension. Here is a break down of what I will be using.
FRONT SUSPENSION: For the front I am going with ATS tall spindles as well as their steering arms, SC&C pro-lite upper arms and GW lower arms with the DEL-A-LUM bushings, the Hotchkis extreme sway bar and springs.
Brakes: I am using the C6 ZO6 setup for the front and rear, I cant wait to put these bad boys on, they are SEXY!!
WHEELS AND TIRES: I have decided to go with the BOZE mesh wheels, 18x9 with a 275/35/18's and out back I'm running 18x10 with 295/35/18's.

Sounds great. Can you post pictures? 72 GTOs aren't common. I think they look great personally.

I'm picture posting stupid unfortunately. The only pictures I have ever had to post were done by someone else. Wish I could help.

Update
Thanks guy's for the compliments this is my first GM and to tell you the truth I really like it. I always wanted a convertible and I let a couple of really cool cars pass me up ( Like an a** I ran the purchase by my wife and got a no go) so when this came around I had to jump on it. I did have to let my 68 CUDA go so I could fund this project but I think in the end I wont regret it, I'll keep the photo's coming.
