Default Project : NEVER FINISH

This is my 1967 GTO will get LQ4 and original muncie. I dont care what people say unless parts and labor are free there is no such thing as a "BUDGET BUILD!" no matter if the money adds up fast or slow it still adds up! Here I am mocking up and tacking in new drivers side quarter panel.

Ran out of gas on driver side so mocked up passenger side. Still have some trimming to do.
Replaced the lower rear quarter and noticed it dosent have panel contour so ripping it out, picture dosent show but the panel is flat instead of having curve to it.

Yes you will have to cut a nice hole in the floor to fit that 4l80e. Was going to do the same but used the 4l80e in my truck.

"Budget" is a relative term to say the least! I have always cautioned customers that were preparing to undertake such a project this way. "Whatever you are prepared to spend, double it and add 20%, you will come up just a bit short." Far more often than not this is the case. Too many jump in with stars in their eyes and not enough cash, or patience to see the job through.
Based on what I see here you are in for the long haul and the result will be nothing less than your vision.
