Default My 69 Gto

Well after a year and a half I am almost finished with my project. Ready to get out and enjoy it. I sure have learned a lot from these forums. Here are a couple of pictures of my car. Please let me know what you guys think.

Looks great, did you paint it yourself? I'm jealous that you restored a car in that amount of time!

Very nice. Are the back tires wider? What size are they?

NICE!
A/C car with the system removed?
Love the steering wheel. I've considered one for my 69. Where did it come from? Kit?
I like the Firestone's also. I'll consider those for my next tires. They look great!
Engine? Stock or modified?
Well done..........

Thanks guys for the comments I appreciate it. Yes it is Liberty blue color and I did paint it my self here at home in my garage, It was a a/c car but had none of the a/c components on it when I got it so I just left it that way for now.As for the tires I went with 275/60/15 on back and 235/60/15 on front and I ended up cutting 1 coil off the front springs to get it down in the front a little. The motor is just a 350 that was in there when I got it, runs ok but I plan on building a 400 later this summer to put in. I'm getting excited I just want to get out and enjoy it. Thanks again for the great comments makes me feel good, Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, Really sweet ride there. Those A/C delete covers sure are nice. The steering wheel looks like a mid 70's T/A wheel. Really nice paint for a home garage job. Enjoy it!

You did a great job Jeff. Liberty Blue is one of my fav colors. The car look fantastic.

Dont knock the 350 though. There are a lot of guys getting big HP out of that motor. Now go DRIVE IT!!!

Car looks great, go enjoy it.

My wife's 69 Le Mans had the same color interior and formula wheel when we got it. I sold it, but now want to go back to it. Is that a reproduction or factory wheel?

That steering wheel was already in the car when I got it , but I am pretty sure that it is an original and not aftermarket. At first I did not really like it but after I got the interior done and painted it I really like it now.
