As most of you know the headers have had major surgery. Here are some pics of the relocated oil filter. Easy access.

Pics of the car.....
 

Only 4 days to go....

The GTO under construction. Which way is forward? I'm beat!

Even the GTO emblems on the car have been repainted by yours truely.

Yes, it had to be moved from the factory location. I was unable to remove the filter without taking off the header. I did choose this location instead of putting the filter on the core support or inner fender like most people do. Those locations make a mess when changing your oil.

Ah, I'm almost there! What is the status of your Mustang? I love the rendering that you have in your avator. The colors are outstanding. :thumbsup:

For those that are concerned. The GTO is going to make it to Detroit Autorama.
We ship out wed. night. The show starts Friday afternoon.

There is a handful of of tech issues that still need to be worked out. Emerg. brake cable set up. Test and tune. Lights for the hood tach. After the show I'm taking two weeks off. No work, no car, nothing. I will then plug away at the car and have it complete and ready for the road this spring.

P.S I will have pics after Autorama. I think your going to like the stance.

I am looking forward to seeing it at the autorama on the weekend! See you there :thumbsup:

Great accomplishment Roger. Car looks awesome.

I think I'm in the 3rd row back from the front entrance, in the middle of the show. I have a feature end display. I'm right behind some famous rat rod guy that has aprox. 10 cars collection on display. Also across from me is one of the feature eight cars last year for the Riddler Award.

Looking forward to meeting you young man. I love the drawing of your car.

Looks good wish i would of got over to detroit to see it! :thumbsup:

Roger goat looks awesome!! 69 goat my favorite car.

Geez, Louise, I read this the other day. At the show , I realized who this "famous rat rod guy" was Roger was talking about. For those who know about the old days, it was a killer display of about 20 of Ed Roth's classic custom rods. Ed Roth as in Rat Fink!!!! The cars are as new, must spend most of their life in a museum somewhere.
No worries Roger, Ed was just one of the character artist icons of his day. He was very famous for his huge bike show at Daytona Bike Weeks for years. He died during Daytona Bike week (about this time) in 01 as I recall. Funeral procession was something else.

I hope I was able to help a few people with ideas or knowledge in the build process of my car. If any one needs help in regards to Pontiac GTO'S feel free to private message me. I know the 68-69'S like the back of my hand.

who won the big one Roger

Roger -
With all of the time you have spent with it, you probably need a picture of a 68-69 on the back of your hand with a heart that says "Mom". LOL.
You will have a lot more than 15 minutes of fame with this build. Enjoy it.:hail:

Roger...did you see the 69 GTO last weekend on Dream car garage? That was a great car. I like your car even better. I Have been looking for a decent 69 GTO but havent found any I can afford so far. I think I may have to pick your brain in the future. :yes:

Dream Car Garage? Whats that? Guys I haven't seen TV for over a month. I have been sleeping on and off for two days. Just getting back on my feet. I guess I will have to watch reruns.
