1971 GTO RESTORATION

1971 GTO in for a frame off restoration.

The frame and all the suspension parts have been blasted and powder coated.

The engine, transmission and rearend have been rebuilt.

My best mechanics are on the job!

The underneath is done and ready to go back on the frame.
The body is back on the frame. The engine has been broken in. It fired right up! We had a few minor details , leaking valve covers, wrong intake gaskets and a stuck thermostat.
Since I ended up having to fabricate all the sheet metal, I thought it would be a good idea to assemble the whole car before final blocking.

I’m very happy with the fit of everything except the bottom of the left fender, the one part I thought I didn’t have to touch. It sticks out almost 5/8″ at the rocker.

A little more finishing and it’ll be good as new!

New stainless tank is installed.
