My GTO is now 99% done.
I just had the glass installed. The interior is installed along with door panels too.
I need to do a few odds and ends like geT the correct battery, phosphorus plate the hood hinges, install the hood, do about 10 more things I cant remember and fill it up with gas!
The long road of restoring this GTO is just about over.

I sent my GTO to the shop to get a front end alignment and a few odds and ends done.
I have to work out all the bugs and take it on a nice long ride one day soon
Once I get it back I hope too hit some cars shows with it and like to have it judged at the GTOAA next year.

Two very cool things are going on here.

1. I love that tow truck! Ive never seen that kind of enclosure.

2. The shop the GTO is at is cleaner than my own garage that (which is or I thought) is very clean.

Great pics.

Yes you are correct. I just recently learned that same info too. I think I will leave the label on the tire and just turn it to the back out of view if I get it judged but have it shown in view at car shows just for effect since most dont know anyway.
thanks for the feedback.
