I'm in the market for a set of drag tires - what size and kind of M/Ts are you running?

We got most of the dash back together on the Ventura. Got the gauges reinstalled ( with incandescent bulbs) and the tach hooked up and working. Installed few little odds and ends like new pedal pads, glove box and bumpers. Also installed a new arrowhead on the front of the car which is apparently one year only.

USPS botched the delivery of the stereo so now we've hung up waiting on that.

Took the cover off the goat, re routed the vacuum hoses for the distributor and started cleaning it up for GoodGuys next week.

Wow! That is so nice!

I think I’m going to need to do this eventually also, covert our open slab parking spot for the travel trailer into a safe-spot for the Firebird to prevent door dings, etc…

Thumbs up Broken lock replacement

Went to the grocery store and went to place the groceries in the trunk of my 69 gto. Trunk key would not work. I got home and tried the new spare key. No go, so I drilled it out, and opened the trunk with a 🪛. Purchased a new 🔐 and good to go.

I know it's a little late but I do know for a fact that you can remove the rear seat and with enough socket extensions you can unbolt the trunk latch from inside of a 69 GTO and open the trunk that way.
