      69 GTO Build

      Its been a few months since I posted on the forum. Have been busy on the weekends chopping away the bad metal on the GTO and slowly getting new parts welded on. Would normally be more productive, but a broken back from a motocross crash this time last year has slowed me down. I hope to build the GTO to be competitive in Autocross and replace the thrills of Motocross, should be a bit safer with a full cage welded (or bolted) any tips would be appreciated since all the rule books are confusing with a full frame car. Will be using solid body mounts. Oh and it has a fully boxed convertible frame so it should be fairly stiff but adding the cage will help.
      So far I have replaced the upper cowl, fit the left quarter and split the new wheel house in half. Going with a 3" mini tub and coilovers with Fab 9 rear end. Again any tips there?

      Near future, 2005 LQ9 that I plan to go through and then I need to order a T56 Magnum.
      Who has the best LS conversion mounts? I guess I need to position the engine first to figure out how far back I can get it.

      Thanks,
      Eric
