1969 GTO Ram Air III 4spd - Frame Off
Here is my latest project, a frame off on a Matador Red '69 GTO Ram Air III 4-spd (non-Judge)
PHS options: 4BBL 400 R/A 4spd Trans 3.55 Safe-T-Track AM Radio Hideaway Headlights Remote Mirror Rally II Wheels Hood Tach Console Power Steering Tilt Column Disc Brakes Soft Ray Windshield Ride Handling Pkg. I have a correct WS engine out of a 69 Judge that is rebuilt and ready to go in. All new everything, this car is really going to be sweet. Unfortunately I don't have any before or disassembly pics thanks to a computer crash which I am upset about. Frame is almost done. I am not using the brake valve shown in pics, I am using an original Pontiac unit instead of the Corvette unit supplied with the new kits. The rear frame rail looks bent to me, are they supposed to be straight across, or have a slight inward curve on them at the gas tank opening?

Looks good John.
I agree with you that the rear frame rail does look bent up and inward some and also think they are suppose to be straight across. How is the body? What interior color does she have?

Looks nice. Yes the rear crossmember is rolled a bit.
Is that a 70 Superbee / Coronet on the rotisserie in the background?. MIke

Thanks guys. The rear crossmember has been straightened since these pics were taken. Body is starting to look really good now. Will get pics up soon.
The Dodge is a '70 Coronet R/T 383 auto. |

John, it looks good--look forward to more pictures. I assume this will be as stock as possible.

Maybe it is a 70 Super Bee they came standard with a 383,real 70 Coronet R/T's came standard with a 440.

Gauges without question. Make sure you put in the correct ones (not '70).

That is going to be nice. Was it a driver shape car before? Where did you find it?
I am working on a matador red, black interior, Judge now. As far as loosing your pictures, you might want to take the computer somewhere and see if they can recover them. -Doug |
