Default Finishing up my Tiger Gold build

My 66 project is just about done! I still need to have the headliner installed but that’s about it. New engine, TH350 Trans and Tri Power all work flawlessly. Vintage Air blows ice cold, drives great on the Diamondback redlines and the factory drum brakes work great.

Thanks to everyone here that helped with the little details.

Anyway here are some pics:

It turned out great! That color really pops in the late afternoon sun. Hope to see it in person one of these days at a PSN event.

Thanks guys! I’ve been driving the hell out of it. We put a looser converter in and it already had a little gear to it (feels like 3.42 or 3.55?) it springs that right rear wheel with ease......

May keep an eye out for a limited slip rear but probably won’t mess with it.

Had the motor built locally and it runs amazing.

Hope you are thrilled. That is awesome looking. Chrome looks amazing and I'll bet the color is gorgeous in daylight. Nicer than nice!

Great looking paint. IF you do the seat covers, make sure you get them from Legendary. They will be correct from them like the original covers from GM, not like the crap from the others.

Yea I used Legendary on my 70 GTO, 70 LeMans and 69 Charger. All great products.

I need to order another set for a different 70 GTO now that I think about it.....

I hear there's quite a backlog on the interiors now so you may want to get on it.
