As others have said, looks like you did some really nice work. Long process but the results make you feel good. I'm envious. Mine is still about 4 months away from getting back on the street. Hope it looks as good as yours!

Nice! A couple things....

-I really like the lack of lower body moulding stainless on your GTO's exterior. It looks mean!

-I looked at the firewall/engine picture first and thought to myself ...WHY THE F*** Is the brake booster on the wrong side???!!! Then I noticed you're from down under....haha. Are old American cars like this hard to find down in Australia? Are all of them right hand drive? Did they come with Pontiac engines from the factory or are they like Canadian Beaumont stuff with small block chevies?

Thanks again for the positive feed back, it means a lot coming from you guys. They passed a law here that cars over 30 years old, can stay Left Hand Drive, prior to that it was just for Vintage cars, mainly WW2 Willys Jeeps, that's in Sydney, different states, different rules. I used to own and really miss a 65 Belair, they were brought here and assembled by Holden, I think they came from Canada, so they were factory RHD. My friends with LHD cars often go to the wrong side and it confuses the cops at Random Breath test stations, when they are asking the passenger to blow in the bag and there is no steering wheel in front of them. There are quite a few American cars here, the show my car is pictured at, had 530 cars. Back in the 60s and 70s it meant wealth and for instance now, to bring an LS1 Camaro here and Convert it to RHD will set you back around $150 k.
