Belated photos of '66 GTO Project
 
Most of you have already seen probably more than you want of my project, however a site member kind of pointed out that I've not posted much background of the car on this site. It is WELL documented over on PT. Anyway, I'll just post some random kind of pics here so those who are blissfully unaware of it can take a look.

Otherwise, see you guys at RTTH.

Agree - what is the color custom or available off the shelf?

...and Bill hasn't logged in here since Oct last year. Hope all is well!

I know Bill will appreciate all the kind comments. He is a friend and I can tell you he has had other things going on. At the end of last year he got a new job and has been devoting a huge amount of time to it. If you can't tell by his car when he does something he does it right. I talked to him recently and I think he will be getting back in the garage soon and hopefully back on here. It's crazy how life can interrupt our fun! :thumbsup:

Bill's a great guy, if memory serves me correct, its a 4 stage custom paint job. He drives the every living sh*t out of it, and it does everything well!! :hail:
