Default Pro-touring 66 GTO
Hey guys, I am a 24 year old car builder/ CNC operator from Galesburg, IL. When i was going to Carl Sandburg College, i was fourtunate enough to help my then shop teacher with a project that he had taken on on the side. That was December of 2004. Finally, almost four years and a lot of changed minds later, using only the time my teacher and i had in between classes and our other jobs, the car has just finished being painted and is almost completly assembled. Here are a few photos from along the way. please let me know what you guys think. Keep in mind this is the first car i have completely built. I will post more photos when the interior and assembly are done. thanks.
