69 GTO Build

['71cutlasluvr]

Hey Eric,



Thanks for the kudo's on the levelers. They seem kinda flimsy for the work that is to be done, but they are only supports intended for leveling and I would also guess to get the frame high enough to reach the underside cuts. Tony and his son have done several of these before making his kit available to the public so I intend to follow his instructions to the letter which will hopefully ensure good results. Hope to get all the bracing done today.

Great timing.. I was just working my way through your thread and saw you responded to my post. I'm up to page 4.. quite a bit of history you have with your Goat. Glad you shared.
Seeing how much you have accomplished in that time frame really helps to motivate me and get me out to the garage to keep it going, even if it's only a bit at a time.

I see how you started the smoothie panel and what a nice job it does on getting rid of the dents and holes. Some guys weld and use filler to get the same effect but the extra ridgigity
it adds to the cowl and firewall makes sense, so I think I will go that route.

I do, in fact, have the wilwood 7/8" MC on my vert' and was going to use it for konekilr. I too would like to get Mike's input on the hydro Boost. Good point about flatting the tires on the track. I hear that setup makes for a some easy wheel lockups since there's no ABS and it may be difficult for a less experienced driver like myself to keep from ruining a set of big, expensive tires. Looking forward to your report Mike!

Yup, floor only cured for a month.. I did use muriatic acid, but I guess the curing time is critical. Oh well, had no choice at the time. Wanted it done before bringing in the blast cabinet, workbench and such. Live and learn, but it's better than a bare floor.

Hey, that's one way to lose weight! Yeah, a fan kinda screws up the weld, especially if you use the argon gas coverage like I do. Man it was miserable here in NE last week but yesterday and today are warm and dry. Perfect welding weather. Vacation almost over.. back to the grind tomorrow. I think the HHH is coming back mon-tues so lets enjoy it while we can.

Off to the garage for more welding. Enjoy what's left of the weekend Eric.
