I'm looking forward to watching your car come together!

Yeah it sounds like were on about the same page. I'm keeping an eye on your build on the pro-touring board. My handle there is Novaguy73.

Well i got my Legendary seats back. The guy that did them misunderstood me when i delivered the stuff and he kind of ****ed up but that's a whole other story. They turned out ok after he corrected them. I also fabbed up some 1/8" steel straps to move the seats back 3". 3" was a bit too much but i can adjust forward now. I still need to paint those. Anyhow the seats have a couple issues but nothing on legendary's part, overall i would say i'm happy. Here's a couple interior shots...

Oh and the little one crawling on the seats says she loves daddy's "vroom vroom" she had her car seat in the back today riding around

Man, those Legendary door panels look crisp, and it looks like they use a thicker batting under the vinyl than the PUI panels the PO put in my car. Do the seats still feel good and stable with the straps?

Yeah the legendary door panels are an 11/10. I recommend them to anyone. The seats feel good. They still don't feel like a new car or anything, they're definitely a stock spring seat feel. After putting about 50 or so miles on the car the last 2 days I would say they will break in some. It might take time. Ill let you know at the end of the summer if they start to take shape a bit. I would say overall they're maybe an upgrade to stock seating with a bit of side bolster that will help a bit in the corners. I intend to auto X this occasionally in the next few years so a bit of bolster is nice. They're a world better than my old worn out 45 year old stockers thought

Next up is a new Legendary headliner/sail panels and trim this Thursday/Friday

X2 I saw the picture of those door panel and said "wow, those sure look crisp"! Then I read the above post and he thought the same thing. The interior looks real nice to me.

PS. Enjoy taking your daughter for rides and to events. My daughter still talks about going for rides in my 40 Ford and that was over 40 years ago.

Nick..... Car is looking great!!!

The Sport seats look great, I was thinking about the ProCar Ralley seats, but heard so many complaints about they are higher then stock, this looks like a great alternative.....
The Rallye kit is foam and covers? Do they keep you in the stock position?.... just better bolsters?
LOL.... 11 years I have owned my GTO, and I have never been to the Legendary website..... I might even add the headrests to my seats!!!!

I bought the procar ralley first. I stuck them in and they looked terrible in the GTO. They looked small if that makes sense. The procars also had a shade of black that was lighter than the door panels etc. Then I sat in them and they weren't comfortable at all. I was sitting on the bolster and my head was literally in the ceiling on the lowest setting for the supplied and way overpriced brackets. Its a shame they don't make these in a bigger size because they did seem to be well made. If you do buy them let me know and I can save you a boat load on the brackets. I started making my own to lower the seats down and decided to send them back.

Will do. She loves going for rides, and I love taking her. Yesterday I let her sit on my lap, reach through the steering wheel, turn the key with my help, start the car and ride around the driveway holding the steering wheel. She liked that too.

Well I got some of the SC&C stage II stuff coming in the mail. I got the Currectrac upper and lower rear control arms with Johnny Joints and the Helwig front and rear chassis mounted sway bars {as opposed to LCA mounted} They should hopefully be here in a week or so.

If anyone is interested in ....

-Boxed stock upper and lower control arms with practically brand new rubber bushings featured earlier in the build post {1 year of use}

-Edelbrock/QA1 Adjustable rear control arms with johnny joints and both set of adjusters for 64-67, and 68-72 {3 months of use}

-1.25" Front WS6 sway bar/poly mounts [1 year of use}

-HD Bilstien shocks, all 4 corners {1 year of use}

PM me and we can talk about it

[fyrffytr1]

Nice, very nice!

[imposter]

i have the same set up in mine you will be impressed for sure make sure you get the joints for the rear end ears as well

[old66tiger]

Are the currietrac arms adjustable?

Yeah. Theyre adjustable and extremely beefy. I think they use 1" adjuster sleeves and johnny joints as opposed to 3/4 like most of the others. The lowers are not adjustable but they're billet aluminum to reduce unsprung weight. Not to mention theyre a work of art.....

Ill be doing that when I change frames later this summer, along with the front SPC uppers and lowers, springs and varishocks. I talked to Mark today about the varishocks I emailed you about. He said he was waiting to see how the new Ridetech H and Q series adjustable shocks were going to turn out but that it was going to take one hell of a new product to get him to sway from Varishocks.

[old66tiger]

I have my front end together and the Ridetech shocks are pretty nice. The ride is firm but not harsh. The shocks that I am using requires the shock stud location to be drilled out to 3/4" to allow the shock to mount properly to the frame. I used a uni-bit and got a little carried away and the hole grew to 13/16" I made a bushing to take up the difference with no problems. Always something.

[Nicks67GTO]

Well some parts started to finally come in. Warning: If you intend to order chassis parts, be prepared for a long wait. Its been almost 6 weeks and stuff is finally coming in. I called SC&C a couple times and Marc basically told me that its standard for a lot of chassis parts to be back ordered. After asking around and reading forums this seems to be the case. Most of these guys are not Summit and Jegs. I guess iv'e gotten spoiled with a 3 days turnaround from those guys. That said ill be ordering my SPC upper and lower A arms. I found a supplier for backstocked USA made tie rods and center links etc for our GTO's, and i'm also going to order SPC springs and a front end alignment tool from Marc. I'm thinking about keeping the Bilstien shocks for a while until Ridetech gets their new HQ shock out and some guys review it. Its fully adjustable, its in line with the Varishock stuff i'm considering and I love the idea of a 1,000,000 mile warranty on their stuff. That speaks volumes to me. Plus anyone who is winning auto X stuff is using ridetech parts right now.....Well heres a few shots of my new swaybar stuff. Im hoping to see the currectrac stuff soon.

This is the rear bar. It is a chassis mounted piece. It allows for full articulation and eliminates binding in tight corners that is associated with the stock rear swaybar that is mounted to the LCA's. It also has 3 adjustments. Dragrace, Street and Roadrace. That's what the 3 holes are for on the bar ends. Its also a hollow bar and weighs almost nothing and has a nice hammertone powdercoat finish! Ill do some picture taking when I install it. Hopefully this weekend!





Here is the front bar. Nothing fancy here. Just a hollow front bar to complement the rear bar. Its featherweight as well, hammertone powdercoated and comes with very nice hardware. The end links I got are specifically for the SPC A arms Ill be ordering soon so I'm just going to reuse my energy suspension pieces for the rest of the summer.
