Just finished installing my gauge cluster restored by Pete Serio!

Great work, looks perfect. I hope you'll keep the original radio.

Hi Paul,

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Coming along really nice. One question for you. I see in one of the photos you provided that there is a hose going from the passenger side valve cover around back, is this "Tee'd" into the PCV valve or to a vacuum pump or a header pipe ? what gives ? am curious. Love the color combination (interior, exterior / top) of the car too.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Paul.

Hello Tim,

Everything is good here on the home front and thanks for asking! I hope the same for you all. Hose....PCV in the valve cover and the other end to the intake. This how I received it from P-Dude.

Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving!!!!

Thanks squidtone! Yeah I know what you mean about all the verts. I've owned this one for 14 years and only drove it the first month. Took it off the road to "just" change the heads and...........well look where that has taken me!! LOL

Can't beat a '67 drop top

[67droptop]

Well boys and girls I'm getting tried of waiting and throwing money at this project. I'm really thinking about stopping the project and selling the car as is or at least get it running. I know this sounds crazy but I'm ready to ride in something now!!!! To top it all off I have CRAZY money in this car that I will never recover by selling!!

Somebody please talk me out of the above!! LOL

Get her running, might just be what you need to keep going. A P-Dude motor to terrorize the ford and dodge boys will be worth the wait. Drop top GTO's are as good as it gets and yours is an A-1 example.

Hammertime Mike,

Hopefully you're right about being encouraged once it's running. It's suppossed to be running by the end of next week. However, I have heard this before!!!!

[GT182]

Yep, get it running and you'll change your mind. Either that or a bunch of us will paying you a visit to change your mind. LOL

BTW... there's only one thing better than a 67 droptop. And that's a 66 droptop.

[fyrffytr1]

How close are you? If you buy something else will you end up doing the same thing to it? I drove mine to the gas station and back home the day after I got it. I have been working on it since then. It has been almost 4 years now and I will be lucky if I get it done by this time next year. But, it will be done and I can say I did a lot of it.
Think long and hard about it 'cause once it's gone you won't get it back!

Amen to that brother. Had a guy offer us $50k for my mom's original owner 66' and turned him down for that very reason.

[Gator67]

Hang in there Paul, it's well worth the wait!

[bammbam]

that's great news, and a huge milestone

[fyrffytr1]

Looking Good! I can't wait to see mine in paint!

I don't have to kick any dirt off when I wake up so I can't complain. And, the wife is still mean as ever! I hope to see you riding around in that hotrod very soon. And, I hope you get to see me doing the same!

[Gator67]

Very nice Paul! Looks like it's about at the same point as mine was last January.

Hello Jeff,

It's been a long time getting this far and I must say seeing some paint on the car sure relieves some of the pain! LOL
