Hello

Hi guys!

I'm the owner of a '67 GTO (read Lemans)

Its a clone, but it was converted to GTO trim very soon after the car was new, probably within 3 years of its original sale.

I have high hopes for the car. My father owns All American Muscle Car Service in Mentor, Ohio. We have had some of the guys hammering on the car for the past few weeks. The bodywork is nearly done, i'm waiting on rocker panels and the metal work is done.

The current plan is to yank the 400 that in it (from a '77 T/A) and build it as a turbo motor. Ive been hooked on forced induction, and I feel I want to be more efficient that a blower. My goal is 750 horse at the wheels on pump gas.

Right now i'm looking for pictures of vintage Pontiac drag cars to base my paint scheme off of. Its not going to be a replica of any one car, just a car with a very vintage theme.

Here are just a few pictures of the car thus far. I hope to have pics of the car in a base paintjob in a week or so.

It always warms me to see a classic being restored. It's especially nice that you know some of the history of the car. Please keep us posted!

Well Ive been away for a while, I'm just now getting some pics of the car up.

Here they are, the car is in primer waiting for paint. I cant decide on a color. I'm just enjoying driving the car every day while i'm doing some bodywork on my daily driver.







I took it to the track to get a baseline on where i'm at. I'm waiting to make a few more passes on the new tires and exhaust before I start making changes to the drivetrain. I have a set of 1.65 rockers and pushrods, and a new intake and carb to throw on, but I want a good baseline before I start modding to get a good idea of the gains.
