69 GTO Build

['71cutlasluvr]

Gus I planned my whole garage around building the GTO when I built it so I have radiant floor heat!

Hi Eric,
Sorry for the delay in responding but I seem to fall off of the forum's new post notification system occasionally. Not sure why.
But glad to hear you have the floor heating system.. much more efficient than my ceiling mounted bull dawg propane unit, but the bull dawg is a huge improvement over a kerosene unit, which I used for years. the fumes are just too much if it's much below 40 degrees.

You are progressing nicely! A lot done since my last post. The flush windows are going to look amazing!

I hope to start the firewall smoothing and the metal work needed for the a/c to non a/c heater box conversion soon. Parting out the old '71 vert has taken a lot of free time but has freed up a lot of garage space (and put a bit into the kitty for the new chassis) allowing me to work all winter on the cutlass so I'm hoping to post some pics of my progress as the winter grinds on.



btw: saw you used the abc firewall smoothie panel earlier in your build thread...thanks for the idea! Do you plan on having heat in your Goat? Or is she going to be competition only? I need to keep the heat since my car will be used for spirited cruising more than competition. Should I use the abc panel then cut holes for the heater box and hoses or forgo the panel and just weld up unneeded holes and clean up with filler? to be honest, I'm better with a welder than body filler... Suggestions?

Looking forward to seeing the body done and lowered onto that piece of art you call a chassis!
