More trouble than it's worth.lars said:It's not that easy - you really need a "donor" car. Everything behind the front bumper is different, including the bumper brackets themselves. There is no "kit" for this, and the only parts available are the commonly serviced components, like the actuators, bushing kits, seals, hoses, etc. The structural components are only available from other cars. I've done 2 conversions, and it's not a pleasant job. I used donor cars for both conversions plus a bunch of repro parts to replace the worn out components. Total cost was in the $1000-range by the time it was all done.
it is...........big_mike said:sounds like it.

I think a 69 gto with hideaways is the best looking car ever!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-69-PONTIAC-GTO-HIDEAWAY-HEADLIGHT-SET-UP-68-69_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQitemZ8020289831QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
is this the one your talking about?.......this is for a 68....it will work just the grills are differant......also it looks like it missing vacume can, vacum bags, and springs......U will also need to buy a vacume headlight switch.
The sytem pictured is missing the actuators, the actuator brackets, the vacuum harness, the over-center springs, the bushings, the vacuum can, the vacuum checkvalve, the light switch, the valance panel grilles (special grilles in the valance used only on the hideaway cars), and the firewall grommet. Just the obvious stuff I can see... Yes, '68 and '69 grilles are different, but they will interchange and mount the same. Not all of the missing parts are available reproduction - you're going to have to do a lot of scrounging to complete that system...1969gto said:does anyone know what else I will need.
