Thanks for the compliments. My buddy Axle is really hip on the old hot rods and had some great ideas for my build. Deep down I'm really a GTO guy and that's the reason I sold the 61 Ventura to build this car. Obviously I didn't want to chop up a real GTO so I used a Tempest Custom for the donor. I have the 66 GTO race car which is all tube chassis, slammed/ pretty low and runs fairly fast. With this build, I really just wanted something completely different. More of a hot rod, but still had to have a Pontiac. So going old school, ,, Gasser fit the bill. The other thing that I kinda had in mind is, most people don't expect a Gasser to be a 7 second rocket, so if I take this to the track and run 10's I don't think it will disapoint anyone. Anyway, I didn't build this to be a race car. I already have that with the 66. I just wanted a hot rod that looked cool, that I could come home from work on Friday, turn the key and go hit the local cruise night. Hopefully nobody tries to egg me on at a stop light with a chevy or ford on the way home though cuz I'd really hate to make them feel bad

Blueghoast, Thanks Man. You see that smile on my face ? That's the way I drive around. It cracks me up when you see pictures of these guys with their cars and they try to look all tough and serious. I'm happy as $h1t when I get to drive my car.
