65 GTO with schwartz chassis

[COYBILT]

I think you have all seen my 64 style dash with the vintage air controller in it.
That is a real engine turn panel, not vinyl like original in 1964.
I copied the 64 dash because it looks better then the wood grain that came stock in 65.

That's really cool, I'm liking that.

glad to see you like the dash scott.
I am in the the phase of trying to remove as much weight while still keeping the car looking stock. I am thinkng manual top ,fiber glass hood, and trunk lid.
I need to find a fiberglass hood and trunk that fits correct.

Just getting ready to chop into the firewall to put a wilwood pedal assembly in the car. Then finish the steering shaft and bumper brackets, after all that is done I need to clean a couple spots up and send the frame to powder coat. I will have to say if you do by a chassis, Jeff is a great guy to deal with. He was more helpful then just about anyone out there. If your going to do a schwartz chassis there is a advantage the frame is light two guys can pick up the frame. Trust me the goat is in the works and will be done sometime in the next 6 months.

I'm pretty sure the stock frame can be picked up by two guys also.......... Jeff does have some cool stuff for sure, good luck on your project.

I Know when my buddy and I picked up the stock frame we were struggling a little bit.( the stock frame was boxed convertible frame which does make it heavier then the C channel). The schwartz frame is pretty easy to pick up not a struggle at all. I am also going to try to get a manual top for the car opposed to the power top it has. I am willing to trade some one there manual early a body top for my power top. Im not sure if Im going to save much weight but, I know Ill make the car simpler.
Oh camcojb Hows that chevelle comin im extremely excited to see that thing finished soon here.
