Default 65 GTO Project H.E.L.P.

Good morning, As described in my introduction thread I have recently acquired a 65 GTO.

Other then doing some google searches and watching online content I don't have somebody walking me through this process. The reason the name fits is because HELP is needed to get this done. If you live in the Midwest and want to physically help OK. If you have knowledge to share I will gladly use that help.

The tear down has begun. 6 body bolts out I think separating the body and frame is where to start?

THANKS!

My goals for H.E.L.P. 1st phase:
1. Driver quality build.
2. Fix cancer
3. LS powered with a power adder. HELP decide which way to go.
4. Pro-touring style
5. Modern suspension with air adjustability. Is Ride tech the only performance engineered option?
6. Original 4 speed car so either a 5-6 speed option is desired because I would like to make some longer drives when completed. Which transmission route to go?
7. Keep an old school feel to the interior but incorporate in some modern comforts to seats and electronics.
8. Not get caught in bodywork prison.
9. Focus on function and reliability before 2nd phase
10. Useable before my 12 and 14 year old's are done with high school
11. Learn some things, have fun!
