Default 65 GTO Project

I've been around the hobby for 30 years and I've built some cars so when I started this project just over two years ago I knew what I was getting into... Sort of.. maybe not. 65 GTO, Art Morrison Max-G chassis, LS7 based engine, Procharger, 6 speed etc, etc. It all started out fairly simple and went down hill from there. I'm building the car by myself in my two car garage. Not so easy but it works if you keep it clean. I'll post more pics as I have time.

Thanks Ron, I'm trying to work on it as much as possible but I have a wife and a full time job so its a slow process. I did build everything myself. Stainless headers and exhaust, chassis mods, floor pans, etc. I'm sorting out the blower and intercooler along with the front accessory drive now. Trying to get it all to fit isn't easy but I'll make it work.

I Love that year body style. I'm stoked to see one of these built to this level.

That is some serious hardware. 3 link the super low stance with the driveline tunnel raised.


You need to throw this up as a build thread.

If you tell me you are planning an earth tone body color with black wheels I will be hopelessly in Love despite the LS motor. You can just keep the hood closed.

I suggest

1965 GTO as the name cuz nothing else is needed to describe it.

Thanks for the nice words!

How can I change to a build thread? Is there a way to move the entire thread?

I'll post more pics soon.

That is one killer build and the fact its in a home garage makes it that much better.
