My 68 GTO Build

[Code Red]

I'm almost positive you could order or purchase a larger than 400 inch motor from the dealer, 428's weren't offered from the factory but some cars had them installed.

yes if someone put it in, or a dealer put it in, otherwise they were 400s from the factory for a GTO

Wow you went a lot further than I thought this was going to go based on the first post. Who is going to do the interior?

I am, you can get a whole interior kit, carpet, headliner, seat covers, door panels, and rear panels.

Are you going to add any sort of accent color or striping on the exterior?

nope only thing that will be added are the white GTO decals on the rear quarters like it used to have. Reallt the only stripes you ever put on a GTO are Judge stripes

Gotcha. What did you do to the underside of the frame? I didn't see a frame off so am wondering what you ended up doing. Looking around on the internet I'm guessing most of the Judges I see weren't really Judges.

yeah there are a lot of clones out there, nothing really done on the underside except for a hotchkis suspension.

Can't wait to see it all completed. You must be literally made of $. I can only imagine the total bill on this project.

The project makes me look at a couple door dings and a bit of rust on the bottom door seams in a whole different way.
