Member with a 68 GTO
 

Hey everyone
Been lurking here a while just realized that I had not posted an intro.
I have a 68 GTO that has all new front suspension from SC&C and wheels from Prodigy customs. Thanks to both Mark and Frank my car handles like its on rails!

Wow great car! Thanks for sharing! And welcome!! Any other specs you care to share? :cheers:

Great looking car! Need more pictures and specs.

Thanks for the welcome! :cheers:

The car has been a drag car for part of its life and the former owner built the Pontiac motor. No specs but it pulls hard!

Front suspension is SC&C upper and lower control arms with AFX spindles and Lee quick ratio steering box. Linkages were replaced as well. Brakes up front are Baer 13 inch and a hydroboost and Wilwood master. Stock rear for now.

I have gotten it now to the point where it is mechanically safe to drive. I did all the mechanical work myself.

Seats and steering are next as well as putting the dash back together and changing the interior to black from the Ivy Gold (read yuk green).

Jon

Car looks great!!!:thumbsup:
Any plans on changing your exhaust tips as well? I noticed they are in a different location that normal, not bashing, just wondering.

Looks killer :yes:

That is sweet. Great looking stance. I am working on a 67 convertible.

The exhaust system came with the car. The tips are just the pipes poking out the side with a little rust and overspray for character. For now I was thinking a little flat high temp black paint and shorten them. It is a small detail that should make car look much better. You have a good eye.


Jon

Thanks guys! I gotta thank Mark at SC&C for the stance - we spent a lot of time on the phone working out the details for the front and rear springs and ride height.

Jon

Wikid ride! Looks awesome, the weels are killer and realy suits the Goat! You have to get new exhaust though ;)

Good call on shortening them.
Should make the car look a world better!! Keep us posted on your updates.
Again, nice car.:thumbsup: :cheers:

I bet it handles MUCH better!!!
Thanks for the pics.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Very cool.

lets get the black spray can under those fenders like yesterday:yes:

Yeah, need to do that. I was planning on scraping out the undercoating and using bedliner - so what is one more layer? :lol:

I have a lot of details to work. One at a time and I will get them all!

Jon

Bedliner would be cool.:thumbsup:

I love it, glad to seen another Poncho on board!

The wheels are KILLER.

Sweet lookin' ride. :thumbsup: Cool pics.

They are now short! :D Looks much better:

Under view. You have to look under the car to see them. No paint because of the rain. I will add that after the holidays.

Thanks Josh and Corey!

The car is KILLER love the color cool ride:yes: :yes:

Pontiac Ftw!!!!

AWESOME!!!!
Looking good.:thumbsup:

Sweet ass ride love the goats! great color to!

Hey guys, Thanks for the compliments!

G-Body I see you work on older stuff too, that 48 has a real nice stance!


Jon

sweet, the wheels look trick on the old goat:D

I agree.
I do believe Pontiac call that color, Carousel Red. Correct me if I am wrong.
Looks good.:thumbsup:

Pontiac does have a orange called Carousel Red, but that is not the color on my car. It has more red in it than the orange I have. It is hard to photograph because is changes depending on the light.

I need to get a picture of my car next to a stock Carousel Red one. :)

Jon

I hear ya.
My Hugger Orange camaro looks red in some pics and in some it looks orange, depending on the light angles.
