Ohio Newbie
Hello eveyone, I just found the site and I love it. I am 19 and currently working on a 1970 LeMans. Planning on making it a GTO clone at some point. I'm in rebuilding a 400 out of a 67 Catalina that is going to go in it with a turbo 400 tranny. Hopefully there will be a lot more goodies to come. Pics will come soon. ERIC

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Thank you for the warm welcome. I was thinking about just leaving it as a Le Mans if nothing else because the gto bumper is so daggone expensive. Here are some pictures of my car and my new gto seats that I have yet to install.

I don't have the seats installed yet but it looks like they sit pretty high, but we can make it work. No I did not paint it. Yet. Whoever painted did a pretty crappy job so I plan on repainting it a dark charcoal grey.

Eric,
Love those GTO seats. I have considered putting them in my 69 Camaro since I like the fit so well.

Wow yea those are some nice seats... Hopefully they aren't too tall on the final install! Gotta love that Australlian quality... at least I'd think the seats were the same as Holdens?

Hey... 79spdbu... checked out your profile... 2 Six speed cars sheesh!
Are either of them out on the road at the moment? I frequent most of the hot rod scenes and try to keep an eye out but perhaps I've missed ya. If they are you should stroll by our Jungle Jims cruise-in on tuesday nights... you can find details @ www.myspace.com/rumblersinc , yup I know, not quite a pro-touring club but I haven't found any real pro-touring type folks around here... closest thing seems to be various owners of big $$$ 69' Camaros with 502s and large wheels that don't even know whats in their car! : ( & that doesn't sound very pro-touring to me!-6Spd EFI 1980 Camaro Z28 - Street Fighter - Amongst other GM autos.
