Latest project (non LS)
All this talk of new cars on here has me feeling left out! It's not an LS but I thought y'all might have an interest in it. My dad bought the car about 14 years ago in pieces ( been off the road since '80) for $1100. I have messed with if off and on for years and decided about 2 years ago it was time to make it happen. Car needed paint, some metal work (vinyl top car), motor/trans and interior... and all of the little crap you forget to budget for.
Unfortunately it took longer than planned because I stumbled on that 69 TA clone on here and I ended up doing both at the same time. I'll never have two cars that far disassembled at the same time again.
Anyway- here are some pics from last weekend:

Thanks guys- the car is a real GTO but not a documented judge. I couldn't have suffered through this build and just left it solid blue.
Not many build pics as we got the car soloing ago. I thought I had some but can't find them.
It would be nice with LS power and if it wasn't a GTO I might have considered it. This one is going to stay a pretty much stock cruiser.
My favorite part of the car are the wheels- year one honeycombs. Although honeycomb were not available on an a body until '71 I think they look good and fit the car.

The car was painted by Bear Creek Maaco- friend of mine owns it and they do a lot of older cars.
I don't see the red Firehawk coming back anytime soon- no room! I did get to drive it to the Trans Am nationals- here is a pic of it next to my dads 20th anniv turbo TA
