Nice work!

Andrew

Thanks Andrew!!!





Ok,

All of the front end, and engine wire harnesses are installed, as is my new Alternator. I am having a heck of a time finding the correct power steering pump that will work with a Hydro-Boost system. I am pretty sure I will be able to source one on Monday, so patience is in order.

Got my P/S Pump issue squared away. Now I am just waiting on more parts. I did get the electrical H/L door conversion in, so I will probably wire that up tomorrow. Not as productive as I wanted to be this weekend, but I used all of the parts that I have received so far. This week should be a busy UPS/Fed Ex week. My gauges should be here later this week, and if I get my dash harness, I can start that upgrade.

Looking good, I have always liked these.

Can't say enough good about Tobin at Kore3.

Frustrated as all get out. My new gauges will be here tomorrow, but I am still waiting on the Dash Harness. I can't go any further until I get the dash harness. I did get the new electric H/L door conversion installed and wired up.

[69*Goat]

I got the ABS plastic mounting/backing plate cut for the new gauges. The cluster openings are 3 11/16" across, and my new gauges are 3 3/8" across. There will be a couple 16th's of an inch of the backing plate showing after the gauges are installed. I have some more trimming to do, and then a shot of flat black.

Things of beauty... :D

Those look nice! Is there a tach?

Keeping the Hood Tach in place. I may have it redone to match these.

Got the gauges installed in the dash tonight.

The Fed Ex guy just delivered two boxes of fun from Kore3. Thanks Tobin.

Dang...You're fancy....parking brakes and everything!!!

You will love modern brakes. I don't know how many people have told me how good my GTO stops, even with manual brakes and being 4100lbs with a passenger.

I had to splurge for the e-brake. They check that here in Texas.

They do in Memphis as well, which is why my car lives in KY.

It is going to be a busy week this week. My new suspension pieces will be arriving from Mark at SC&C. My Dash harness will be arriving, along with my hydro-boost system. I will have two weeks to get this thing up and drive-able for the paint guy.

I am getting excited now!

[LUV2XLR8]

speed hut gauges?

[69*Goat]

speed hut gauges?

Yes sir.

[69*Goat]

Haha;

My daughter just called and said "You got a package from Syvitz, Syvitz, Shiznitz Custom"... LOL.

There is one word that I am learning very well in this rebuild/upgrade of my GTO. That word is: "Patience". Yesterday when I got home from work, I ran into the house like a kid on Christmas morning expecting to see a nice big box from SC&C with all of my new suspension pieces in it. The box that was waiting for me was quite a bit smaller than what I expected, and when I opened it all that was in it was my new upper control arms. I guess I better learn the patience thing, because when the paint guy picks this thing up in two weeks, I won't get it back for 3 months.

Get a grip man...my car took 4 years to build...LOL
