      68 GTO,
      Nice work on the Goat- thanks for keeping the power under the hood Pure Pontiac! A 455 w/ e-heads is a 500+ hp no-brainer for sure.

      Tire Fryer,

      I was just admiring your work... did you go with lowered spindles? I'm about a month behind you... mine's a 69. Full Front and Rear Coilover's from Global West. J

      Nice ride. Had a 69 bird- love Pontiac torque. What are you planning for a rear gear?

      Just wondering; what rear axle is it you put under it? Looks great!
      I'm starting the build on my '70 GTO vert. Won't be very radical, more a mild modded cruiser.

      Keep us posted!

      Erik,

      Not sure who you're asking... so, I'll answer for both us. TireFryer is using a rear end from Strange Engineering, which is completely awesome. I went with my stock rear end and upgraded the rear cover to a TA Performance Girdle. It's nice because it has an easily accessible oil fill hole and a separate oil drain hole, with magnet.

      Good luck!
