Default New here. 1968 Gto 455

Car was built by my dad who spent about 5 years building it before he passed away in a car accident in a 04 GTO. I am finishing the car and just trying to further my knowledge. Thanks for any input guys!

Welcome and sorry to hear about your dad. I know it's tough working on hot rods without him. Keep your hopes up and keep us posted on the progress.

My father recently passed away also, he left me a 1970 Caprice classic i'm having restored in his honor. Keep it going and don't ever sell it. Good luck to you.

Welcome 455GTO! My dad passed away unexpectedly at the tender age of 57. He loved muscle cars from the 60's. He never got to ride or drive my SS after my longtubes and exhaust went on the car...I still think about that every now and then.

Good luck with the build!
