67 Tempest - New to Pro-Touring
Hi my name is Johnny!
I accidentally stumbled on this website while Googling. Glad I did because there are some awesome cars on this website. Hope to meet some people and learn more about the PT world. Here are a couple pics of my car, which is a 1967 Pontiac Tempest.
Most of what I've done to it is to swap out the front end and replace with a GTO front end, although I'm not planning to clone my car into a GTO. I just liked the scooped hood and mesh grille styling better than the Tempest.
I also replaced the stock 326 that came with the car and built up a 455 motor for it with Holley 750 DP, Dougs Headers, dual Flowmaster 40's exiting the rear, but right after the headers I did install DMH electric cutouts.
Next on my list is to replace the wheels and tires and that's how I stumbled on this site. Originally I was planning on running 17's all around, but now if possible I may opt for 19/20 combo.
Here are a few pics of my ride.

You need to enter one of the magazine contest for pics when they happen and spend just a bit more time with the lighting and you will do awesome

ill just go ahead and call it a gto so i can put another tally up. i think we just might be able to outnumber the camaros some day. BTW i like how the stainless around the side windows are painted, very clean. go look in the multimedia section, there is a thread i started called 'can someone make my dream', i think you might like it.
