My project is located in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The 'tear-down' is complete.
All major structural and drivetrain components are rebuilt and preparations are being made for reconstruction.
Please consider yourself invited to participate in advising me as I proceed.

note:
the picture below is a representation of what my GTO looked like when it came off the factory floor.
this is not a photograph of my GTO.

first question going by your picture...WHY!! I am far from a purist but that looks like a clean relatively original car, please tell me it was a bondo bucket and needed to be taken apart and half of it thrown in a scrap heap.
