Wannabe 69' GTO

Here is what it looked like when I finished.

 

here's a few of the before shots you might want to see.

 

Here's another but I need you to ignore the plug wires and the fan shroud. He hasn't bought new ones yet. This car took me and my side kick 7 months of straight work and I will say there weren't many 40 hour weeks to speak of.

 

Oh yeah it was already raised that high when I got and he choose the rims and tires for the car. Not my cup of tea but it's not my car.

 

another for good measures

 

Wow, that car had issues when you got it. I love the Red/white, very sharpe. Maybe the guy lives at the end of a 4x4 trail :laugh:

Nice work! :beer

 

you've done a excellent job i have a 71 lemans if you need some more practice just in case you might have some issues to work out im waiting for a body donar poor old cars got over 350,000 hard miles on her
anyway nice work :jd:

sr66 :TU:

 

Thanks guy's.......... As for the 4x4 theme he has going on I tried to get him to put some factory parts back in it but he said he likes it high. We should have put some mud tires on it.

sr66: I'm at the point in my life where I think it's time to do something else. Maybe In a year or two i'll start a new job maybe get back into retail parts. I want to grace the pages of some major magazine before I hang up my paint-gun. The cover is what i'm after and i'll get it......someday.

 

Jarrod,

Awesome job,

I should have ya look at me W-31 for resto. Piece of cake compared to that lemans. Let me know if your interested.

Tim

 

Yeah....WAY too high for my tastes, too. But the non-hideaway headlights are always interesting.

 

Tim: we'll have to talk someday.

1979SHX: as for the headlights if you take a good look at them they are the new style Blue/White light headlights. Here's a better pix.

 

Oh, NO! You threw away the T-3's??? :laugh:

Sell those to a restorer if they still work. Some guys will buy'em even if they don't.

 

Headlights

Beautiful Pontiac,looks like new,i cant believe the before pics,looks like every Pontiac i have owned ou: Where did you get the blue white lights in that style,i have to get some for my 64 lark wagon,thanks...Darren

 

That car (and its driver) wouldn't last 5 minutes around Detroit.

 

Very Cool! :beer :TU: I really like the front shot with the hood scoops, hood tach and the hump in the middle. :bglasses:

 

I still have them.

 

eBay of course i'll get you a link to make it easy for you.

Wonderful job you did there and a lovely car.

 

Thanks JIM
I'll keep you guy's posted on my next project it's a 1970 skylark. I should be getting started on that in a couple of weeks. I'm going to treat it to a GSX Black and Gold paint job. This time it will be starting with a solid body so no patch work needed just alot of block sanding.

 

What a beautiful job. Looks like that car started out about where mine is now (except mine is still covered up by a bad paint job), or maybe even a bit better.

Know of anyone else that does this kind of work? I cant seem to find anyone
