There will be a rear seat, but with the minitub to keep the tires well under the car, only be room for one. Frame was bent to put the car very low, and it is. Oval exhaust pipe is required and nothing hangs below the frame rails. Frame is 5" from the ground right behind the front tires and 6" from the ground right in front of the rear tires.
Car is going back to the chassis shop that did the 4 link/watts rear suspension for an 8.50 cert moly cage late next week. He will also fabricate the headers for the new CV-1 Pontiac cylinder heads. At that point its back to JHRS (Joes Hot Rod shop) and serious finish work.
I am working on a place to put pics, and will post that as soon as its ready to go. Thanks for the interest. This is a life long dream of mine finally coming to reality. I graduated high school the year this car was built/sold as new. Couldnt afford one then. Patience and hard work paying off.

My '64 GTO, ex-bracket bomber, for those who like 1/4 mile cars. Powered by a '71 455 HO engine.
