I like to introduce myself(Dave)
I become a proud owner of 1968 GTO from my brother who past away this past thanksgiving morning at the age of 51. My brother (Joe) owned this GTO over 30 years. I am also a car guy. I have had a few Pontiac's 73 400 grand am, 74 formula 400, 74 350 firebird, 88 formula and a few other GM cars. I own a few mopars now. I also have My 68 Barracuda for 30 years. Joe and I would battle back and both about are cars, great times!
Joe was a bad a*s 4 speed driver this car went in so many direction and now back to a 400 engine. Great friend on mine is helping with get this GTO back into Shape. He is a member on here GTOLIB thanks buddy! We bin friends since child hood. Joe never was a numbers guy, so I was going to do the PHS for Joe so he would know what he had. But that day did not come. So GTOLIB and I had it done last week. WOW!!!
Here is a small brake down.

Welcome Dave bet your bro is proud and loves to see that ole goat burnin those rubbers , he has taught you well.

GTO JOHN 02-10-2014 12:23 AM

Welcome Dave! The 68 looks great in that pic, Joe would be proud no doubt.

Txbobcat 02-10-2014 07:50 AM

Welcome Dave. Thanks for keeping the goat and sorry for your loss.

arbys 02-10-2014 08:49 AM

Welcome and keep those memories alive with that 68

A regular participant at the Wed night cruise in has his rear window etched with " In memory of ______ ______ 19XX-20XX". Something to consider.

2002Z4CSS 02-10-2014 09:02 AM

Welcome! Nice car!:)

hurryinhoosier62 02-10-2014 11:19 AM

Welcome, Dave. I agree with Ross (arbys). A rear window tribute in your brother's Goat would be very appropriate.

Captainofiron 02-10-2014 11:39 AM

Welcome, cool project idea

Kurt Zimmerman 02-10-2014 07:56 PM

Thanks everybody.

I will be posting more pictures and progress on the GTO.

I am having some art work done in memory of Joe. I am going to transfer it onto a sticker for the car and for some close friends.
