1970 GSX Stage 1 4 speed rolling Chassis to display at 2023 GS Nats

Rich how the heck do you find the time to work on your own car ??? Especially being a one man show ? For more than a decade Duane's GSX has been in storage and hasn't seen the light of day. We have been swamped with so much work. And with half a dozen projects currently on the go. And practically working 7 days a week. There is barely any time to work on our own stuff. But that will change. We are going to fit them in. I am curious did the "VIN " stampings on the frame found in several places survive intact? Or were they rusted away ? Good luck with the project.

 

Well, I work on customer pay restorations all week and go out after supper most nights during the week and work all day Saturday and Sunday on my own projects. This GSX rolling chassis has taken me about about 2 1/2 years nights and weekends to complete.
The VIN is stamped and can be easily seen on top edge, mid way, on the drivers side frame rail.
Concours restorations that are taken to a high level are no joke, a very challenging time consuming endeavor to get everything correct.

 

Rich, tell me about the gold car next to the frame.

 

Its a 1970 Saturn yellow GSX that run in pure stock drag racing.

 

Cool build . Someone recently bought a stage Conv , chassis all pitted up , sure could use your services .

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the GS Nats ,will have rolling chassis on display Friday and Saturday

 

Rich it was great to see you at the Nationals and the GSX frame you brought I believe everyone including myself really enjoyed seeing. Wish we were able to catch up a little more but I was all over the place and trying to find parts for my car.

 

Rich, I enjoyed taking to you about the frame and your future plans for the X it goes to. Photos do not do it justice. The level of detail is awesome!

 

Thank you for bringing the chassis , it was nice catching up with and meeting your children

 

View attachment 606384 Ryan ,Rich and Ajesh thank you for your positive feedback.
I brought my 2 sons, Evan 23 on my left and Rowan 19 to my right, to their first ever Big car event and they had a great time.
Had a lot of interest in the GSX rolling chassis and had a great time as usual at the GS Nats.

 

More for the show, loading chassis up at the end of the day.

 

Your chassis was a great example. I admire your determination and attention to detail

 

Rich I enjoyed talking with you at BG and did take many pictures. I intend to duplicate some of your details on my 69Stage 1 . Thank you for sharing your fine restoration work. Tony

 

Was a pleasure to finally get to meet you Rich! Chassis looked great. It was probably the most time I spent looking at anything, which unfortunately wasn't long enough given my very compressed schedule.

 

Thanks, it was great being back at the GS Nats after missing it since 2018.
