I am one of those few lucky ones who actually have known Greg and his family (including Nana) since we were kids. Although I never rode in the 69, I did spend quite a few crazy nights in Greg's 66 while home on leave from the Navy! I have known this great family most of my life and to say they are my second family is so true. Seeing the family pics brings back many memories from my youth! Nana's 69 is looking beautiful brother! She would be proud of the tedious and non stop commitment you have given to her beloved GOAT. I still have the "Little GTO" book you sent me in the Navy back in 86! I caught the GTO bug and always have wanted one! As you know I bought a matching numbers 67 about 6 years ago and that is a truelly friggin saaaad story. But that's another story. Looking good BRO! Your bro Chief.

So the car is finally supposed to be polished this Sunday. Walker was sick the last scheduled time and the I was out if town for a bit. This coming Wednesday I have a guy installing the door and quarter glass so I have been rounding up the windows, regulators and related parts. I took the nasty dirty greasy parts and soda blasted them, it works so damn slick! Here are the door weather strip channel pieces before and after soda blasting then before and after I ran them thru the buffer.

So here are the clips that hold the weather strip in the channel. I ordered aftermarket ones and they were not a good fit, sooooo. I cut the rivets off, sandblasted the clips, painted them and dipped them in plastic dip. Had to shorten the rivets as they were way to long.
Anyway, just kind of documenting these little things here for my benefit and might be of use to others as well. ![]() ![]()

Money shot! Love the perfectly symmetrical silhouette of the rear window above the scoops.

Very nice photo .... needs to be in a magazine or book somewhere. Captures the elusive beauty of a 68 GTO better than probably any pic I've seen.

What methods are you using to refresh the window regulator and door hardware? They look like new.

I bet walnut shells would leave a very similar finish.
Again ... that photo is so nice. That's poster worthy ... seriously. You should reshoot it when done, with all the pieces in place etc. I'm not a poster buyer, but that would tempt me? Are you a photog by trade? |
