GREAT STORY, THANKS FOR SHARING.
KEEP US POSTED WITH PICS AS THE PROJECT CONTINUES. |
Great father/son project and a heckuva wedding present!
Lot of bonding time building this car! |
Great project and great pics.
keep up the good work, and enjoy the process Thanks for sharing |
I see some parts in those shelves I forgot to get last time. Looks like another trip to come and get them, I mean............look at the car. It does look terrific though.
|
I see the "'64 only" curved lever Tripower linkage--Pontiac part #9777060! Nice to see a "correct" '64!
|
Wow, great car, better story!
|
Hey Bob V. its got your steering shock on the front and Dicks 3x2 linkage.
We got most of it right but their is always something................ we could do better. I know I got to do the overspray on the valve covers and the oil filter once we break in the engine. |
Beautiful ride and the perfect restoration experience!!!!!
Got a question for the forum. Pass side ground wire; should it be attached on the head or to the coil brkt?? Keep the pictures coming! BEAUTIFUL!!!! "Bill"! |
I love it! Subscribed!
|
Niiiiiiiiiice.
|
Nice work, can't wait to see the end result.
Is that a Gardner exhaust system? |

This was the reference point, unless GTO was different. |
If you plan to enter concours judging with GTOAA, you may want to consider not doing the overspray. I did none on my '64 and there were no deducts for lack of overspray. There is some amount of controversy about overspray--valve covers, blue oil filter, firewall, etc.
Maybe it's just me, but why try to duplicate what the factory didn't do "just right?" Look at the rear axle in this 8000 mile unrestored GTO. Do you think that rearend or rear underbody would be OK at a judged carshow? http://www.hotrod.com/muscle_car_rev...ried_treasure/ There's no doubt this car is very close to what a '64 GTO looked like when new, but that's not how restored cars are done today. We can argue for or against "over-restoring," but that's what wins at car shows today. Just something to think about. |

Interesting that 8k GTO looks so close to underside of 69 88k Judge just a lot more overspray but the Judge came from high desert.
The sand and road dirt wears off the thin overspray. http://www.hotrod.com/muscle_car_rev.../photo_10.html |
That is sure Purdy! (;>)

Very nice.

I know it's not finished yet but looking at the pics leads me to ask a general question of:
As I recall, the 65's had a long painted bracket piece (wire loom?) that ran along on top of the inside lip (maybe outside lower lip) of the driver side valve cover to hold the distributor/heat sensor/etc? wiring. Did the 64's have a similar piece? |
Pretty sure mine did at one time but that was many many years ago, lol!
