Default My concours restoration

I havent worked on my 67 in a while.
Got the engine back from the rebuilder after 2 yrs. He is the best in the area and i had to wait but it was worth it. Everything is balanced and all new components

I onny used AC Delco or NOS parts and all the parts have the original date codes too like the water pump, starter, NOS spark plugs with the green stripes that are no longer made, even the alternator has the date codes and the diodes you see from the back are date coded as well. Tried not to look over any details no matter how small.
If anyone knows thes cars and has suggestions please tell me. Alway open of critisism and suggestions

RedDirtRoad,

I have a question. In your picture below is your Ram Air pan missing a piece of the lip where I have marked it with the red arrow?

Mine is missing a piece on the side. I was wondering about that being a defect and maybe filling it.

I have a 1/4" flange around the hole pan
If I looked at your pic correctly it looks like your flange is missing about 2 inches on the side??

Correct. Yours isn't missing any on the front?

Doesn't feel to be worn in any way, just like it was abnormal from manufacture.

I bought my pan from perfomance years when they were at Englishtown back in April

Hey Red Dirt, even though you ruined my thread trying to sell my 670 heads, I must say your chassis looks pretty sweet.

Sorry Buddy,
I never meant to ruin your deal.
I am sure you can still sell them
Anything GTO usually sells

Thought I'd post a couple of recent pics. One new beach pic and one of the new ad on to the interior:

ID:	229815 Finally figured out how to upload this. This was from about 12 years ago. Car still looks the same, with slightly larger rear tires (bfg radial t/a) looking to put redlines on it next.

ID:	229818Here is the interior and an older shot of the engine. I have a "more correct" looking Griffin aluminum downflow radiator in there now, and a more subtle aircleaner lid. Getting ready to put this 23 year old rebuild in a 76 Ventura (in rh side of lower photo), and install a fresh 455 built by Mr. P body.

Goatwgn, your GTO wagon looks sharp. Too bad GM never gave an option for a 'real' factory GTO wagon.

Joe, you LeMans looks great too.

Thanks guys. Love all your rides too. Lots of nice looking cars here. The 66/67 Pontiac "A" body-body style is my favorite of all time. The 65/66 Full size run a close second.

Thumbs up

This is a beautiful picture with the clear blue water as a backdrop. This would make a nice poster. Is that on the Gulf coast, or is it in central/southern Florida on the ocean side?
