Welcome to a fellow Texan and GTO builder. I think that lavendar color is officially called "iris mist". It is a relatively rare color.

What are your plans for drivetrain? Keeping it Poncho powered?

What's the current combination?

Yep, now it has the matching # 389 which is going on the floor by the muncie, I am building a 455 (at Westside Machine in Houston) with E-heads and a Butler cam. Transmission will stay a Turbo 400 for now, I have a 200r4 but am considering a gear vendors overdrive one day also.

Well, the weather did not cooperate for my plans so I ended up getting the front brakes ready and cleaning more stuff out from the interior. The spindles were ebay specials and I guess I forgot to take a pic before we cut them. This is a dirty car!





















Here are some pics where my buddy works

Welcome! I lived in Katy a while myself, not far from the Katy Mills Mall. Loved it there. I'm also doing full air-ride, I think you'll be happy with it, from what I've read anyway. Mine is forever from being on the road. Looking forward to your build.

What shop is that at? I live in the Woodlands but work in Westchase. Like to drop by sometime to check it out Always need to know more people/shops that are local!

Looks like a nice start on the GTO!
