My parts hauler is a 89 c1500 that I just put in a 00 5.3. Glad to be here [I can help with body ?'s] Jim

    Welcome Jim-bo! I say that cause you are from eastern AR... I hope you didn't marry into the family because of an unwanted pregnancy????? LOL--j/k man. so, as the screen name suggests--is the GTO going to be a Hugger Orange? Or possibly the El-Co? Any chance you are going to make the El-Co an SS clone?

    The mustang was a momentary weakness buy. The screen name came from a 69 camaro I built that was you guessed it hugger orange. My son loved that car so much that he made me promise to piant him somthing orange one day. He drives an 01 Xtreme s-10 with cowl hood orange with black ss stripes. Jim

    Damn--nice job on the GTO! What happened to the stock motor/tranny? Was it the 389/4-speed with factory 4-piston disc brakes? Or did it come with all drums?
