Just finished my 11 year 66 GTO Resto
 

Well it's nearly finished, there is always more to do, this is at a local American car show, it took 3rd in Muscle Car, so pretty happy with that. I did everything myself except for upholstering the front seats and painting the car, my wife and kids were a great help.

Turned out real nice!

Nice looks.

Love the color from down under!

Looks like you did a great job. Congratulations.

Nice save Franky, beautiful car. Enjoy!

Looks awesome! How about some more pics and details

Congrats on finishing

Thats a great story and car. Congrats

good save!

Way to hang in there! She looks grrreat!

Congrats Franky on getting her back on the road again. That is one gorgeous 66 Goat. And a great candidate for a calender. A double :thumbup:!

What's the color you used? We need more photos....

BTW.... do the wire change in the switch to have the parking lights on with the headlights. You'll like it.

Nice job Franky!! I like the way the RII's look on your car, also the stance. Did you change the springs from original? What shocks are you using and are your tires 14's or 15's?

Looks Great! And no they never are really done. I've been working on the car in my avitar for over 40 years & there are still things that I want to do to it. The only problem with your car is I would keep getting in on the wrong side. Jerry.

Very,Very nice work and car Franky!
Seems to have some qualitytime back to your family :), although 11 years..

nice ride you did a good job

Nice results, and thanks for saving another one!

Love the color. Love the lowered stance. Need pics of interior and motor!

Beautiful GTO! Nice job.

Love the before and after pic's

Thanks for all the comments, to answer some questions, it has a 461 Butler kit in it with the Performance Years Tri Power set up, a Doug Nash 4+1 gearbox, 9" rear with 3.00 gear, the 4+1 gives it around 4.11 gear in the first 4 gears then the 5th gear is 1.1 .I haven't been able to play around with suspension too much yet, so the springs are cut for the stance and the shocks are basic gabriels, so work to do there yet. The wheels are 15 x 7 and 15 x 8, I cut and re welded the inner gaurds on the rear to fit the tyre. The car came with a 350 Olds in it for some reason and I don't know where the original is but it has lived down here since it was new.

That is a beautiful car. Congratulations on a job well done!

As others have said, looks like you did some really nice work. Long process but the results make you feel good. I'm envious. Mine is still about 4 months away from getting back on the street. Hope it looks as good as yours!

Nice! A couple things....

-I really like the lack of lower body moulding stainless on your GTO's exterior. It looks mean!

-I looked at the firewall/engine picture first and thought to myself ...WHY THE F*** Is the brake booster on the wrong side???!!! Then I noticed you're from down under....haha. Are old American cars like this hard to find down in Australia? Are all of them right hand drive? Did they come with Pontiac engines from the factory or are they like Canadian Beaumont stuff with small block chevies?

Ill never get used to the wheel on the opposite side, nice pics

Looks really nice!

Great looking car!!

nice work, looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again for the positive feed back, it means a lot coming from you guys. They passed a law here that cars over 30 years old, can stay Left Hand Drive, prior to that it was just for Vintage cars, mainly WW2 Willys Jeeps, that's in Sydney, different states, different rules. I used to own and really miss a 65 Belair, they were brought here and assembled by Holden, I think they came from Canada, so they were factory RHD. My friends with LHD cars often go to the wrong side and it confuses the cops at Random Breath test stations, when they are asking the passenger to blow in the bag and there is no steering wheel in front of them. There are quite a few American cars here, the show my car is pictured at, had 530 cars. Back in the 60s and 70s it meant wealth and for instance now, to bring an LS1 Camaro here and Convert it to RHD will set you back around $150 k.
