    I stumbled across your channel this morning while searching for 1965 GTO restoration issues. I bought a 65 GTO hard top 2 years ago and many of the same issues you are dealing with I am facing myself. Your craftsmanship and clear methodical approach have gotten me so excited to begin the work on my project. I will definitely follow you all the way through. Thank you.

    Hi. New sub here. Just purchased a 1965 Lemans last fall. Really like the looks of this body style. Mine is a 2-door hardtop in Iris mist with a black vinyl top. Pretty rare car that has not been cloned. It will be interesting to see how these cars are put together. So good luck on this build and I will be watching.

THEY HAVE A REALLY DEEPRUMBLE TO THEM THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A SHARP SHRIEK AS THE ENGINE WAKES UP TO HAUL ASS! i HAD A REAL SD-455 TRANSAM (1974) WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD! I NEVER KNEW WHAT I HAD TILL I WRECKED THE CAR RACING A CADYY 500 POWERED CAMARO, THEN SOMEONE CAME TO THE LOT TO BUY THE CARCASS FOR $25,000! THATS BACK IN 1992!!!! SO I WAS SHOCKED AS I ONLY PAID $750 FOR IT WHEN I FIRST GOT IT!..IT WAS LUCERNE BLUE , WITH A BABY BLUE BIRD ON THE HOOD AND A BABY BLUE INTERIOR..I THINK ITS STILL ALIVE SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. LAYING RUBBER WITH ITS 4.11 SAF-T-TRACK REAR!

    Are you thinking about building the drive train to the factory spec? And those 14" wheels with a high aspect ratio side walls( probably 70s or 78s from the factory); I could see you cheating a little with 16 or 17" rims. But keeping a goat close to factory spec would be nice...even though this isn't matching up the numbers. Anyway, looking forward to the sheet metal work! That's the best part of restos.

      @rustbucketrestos6511  3 года назад +1

    I was waiting to see all the additional parts and the replacement panels that came with the deal but when you only showed the header I questioned the value of doing the project. All the new panels will cost a lot then you will only have a finished shell with no parts to make a car. I would be looking for a cheap parts car for donor parts. I'm still watching the progress.
