The filter/drier however is brand new in the box NOS.

I read your Sunday weekly thread too and your restoration s going to be very nice as well..good luck

Where did you get the condensor and hoses? Are you using a POA valve?

Dominic,

Your car is looking great. It's come a long way and it looks like it's getting close to being finished.

What is your other car? Looks like maybe Ferrari 599 GTB? I see the Yellow badge and the wheels look to be Ferrari.

You have a good eye

Worked on my car this weekend and put in new headlights, buckets, trim rings and hardware

[RedDirtRoad]

Phil,
Drier and POA valve are brand new NOS.
I bought the drier from someone on ebay.
The POA valve I bought from a big ebay seller called PacecarJeff. He sells alot of GM NOS parts but they arent cheap.
The condenser I bought from an ebay seller named ccsautoparts.
The have 2 different condensers foor the 67 GTO. Make sure you buy the one named concours. Its already painted and has the right bends and bracket for the upper connection. It comes with a drier too that looks close to NOS

RDR,

I hate to pop your bubble, but those fender extensions under the headlights should be black, same as the grill. Mine have always been.

Looking good otherwise.

Yes 2 rules of thumb on that
There is a thread about that too. They were built with the extentions painted black and color of car. My car is a 2 owner car I have owned since 1982 and the extentions were color of car.

The '67 convertible I have here to do some work on is a mostly original car. They are body color on it. I happened to notice tonight when I was showing a friend the difference between a '66 & '67 (since side by side).

Just went back to find that thread. VERY interesting again.

What plant was your car built in RDR?

You are doing one hell of a job! I will go back to my assigned corner now.

Charles,
I always welmome comments. Thats why this forum is so great. All the guys on here each contribute with tips and know how. I wouldnt have come this far without the guys on this forum so dont stop commenting or criticizing.
My car is a Framingham car. I did just found a pic of an original 67 and they are painted black. I need to look into this further.

Beautiful silver 67's you guys are building. It's great having so much input and help from different 67 owners going through the restoration process.
I don't mean to get off topic here, but something caught my attention. I read through the years-old topic link that Charles provided above and saw my post and the one from GTOGreg. According to our numbers, Greg and I have cars that were built within hours or maybe even minutes of each other, both from the Baltimore plant. For those keeping track, both originally came with black fillers/fender extensions.

[RedDirtRoad]

There are examples of the fender extentions and being painted body color and black to match the grille surrounds.
One thing about GM was there was never certain things carved in stone and it varies from plant to plant.
I have owned my car since 1982 and had the original paint on the car and the fender extentions were the body color. My car was built in Framingham MA.
I plan on getting my car judged at the GTOAA when its finished so I am curious howthe score points on that issue.
I also agree that this is a great site to exchange info.

Glass is getting installed early next week.
I should have all my trim back from my plating shop this Saturday. I am having all the aluminum and stainless trim buffed and polished.
Just ordered the interior too and went with Legendary over PUI.
I hope to make some serious progress in the next 2 weeks.

[Old Goat 67]

Mine was built in Kansas City, 2nd week of July 67.

Funny how they had differences by plant. It just looks odd to me where the color changes at that spot, but one can only see it looking down while standing right in front.

[Old Goat 67]

And BTW, I try to keep mine as correct as possible, but it is not Concours correct everywhere.

[RedDirtRoad]

Just got my car back from the trim shop.
I had the headliner done and the vinyl top done.
Came out really great. The trim shop was recommended to me by a friend and as soon as I saw his shop and previous work I knew he was a true craftsman. Shop is spotless and his work was perfect.
This was also the first time the car moved out of the garage on its own power. It started and I actually drove it. Its very tight, no rattles or vibrations. It feels like a new car.
I have the date coded glass on its way and waiting to complete the next phase.

I didn't go through all 8 pages ,but was wondering why you have a later style radiator in the car.
I noticed the trans cooling lines go into the right side of the unit.

Nice job on the project,btw.

Good luck

The radiator is an original radiator. The trans lines are on the bottom as they should be.
I am using ram air manifolds and the trans lines run up the frame and over the control arm.

My bad,I thought that picture was of the top rad hose,just noticed it was the bottom hose.Sorry.
Btw,did you buy the trans cooling lines specifically for the R/A manifolds or did you re bend ?
I'm going through this now,as I changed my manifolds to R/A type after I purchased my trans cooling lines.

PS Could you possibly post a picture of the lines where they cross over the control arm ?
Thanks

Looks great!
