GTO out of the shop!
Took 2 weeks of 8 hour days to do all the work which they carefully documented with 200+ pictures. First class act
Lots of fab work involved with the complete upgrading of brakes, suspension and steering. The handling is outstanding, almost no body roll in corners, very stable but not stiff riding (QA1s are 12 way adjustable shocks) and stops very evenly with minimal pedal effort. Just I'll post some more pics up when I get the disc from the shop. Scott New stance is slightly lower 6 piston calipers front and 4 for rear New master and booster Sway bars front and back, control arms, the whole chalupa Rear sway bar and trailing arms Topside shot of upper control arm and steering rack assembly

Absolutely beautiful. I had a 66 Pontiac Star Chief Executive as my first (and crappy) car and always drooled over the GTO's. At least my car had the 389, just a two-barrel carb though.

Well done, sir. Wheels aren't too big and look good proportionately. I like the five spoke style. Still has a period correct, kinda old school look. Congrats!

Not interested in some ghetto donks, just a wheel that looks good on the car. I may switch wheels yet, I'm not totally sold on them but the sizing is about right for my taste. Scott
