Welcome to FP. Engine, drivetrain and suspension 1st. These area's will bring out a host of hidden problems that can be solved as you go. Also a running moving ride is much easier to work on (even if you have lots of PUSHING power with the boys) LMAO. Most of all, enjoy every minute of being with your kids. They will remember this project forever. They are the future of saving/restoring our past. Rock on guy's!!! We love pic's, so keep us up on the project.

We like pic's...thankz for sharing. Welcome to the site. Beautiful GTO.

Good Ol Anco's will always be a favorite. Real metal and you can get refills for your originals or their replacements. https://ancowipers.com/ Good luck.

All this cheap plastic crap that breaks when you look at it wrong. HUGE pet peeve of mine esp when they charge ya $20.00 ea.

Welcome to your new obsession. Lot of good help and friends here. Did anyone mention we like pic's?

Very cool find, I have my cabin/huntin property in Lk City. Did not put it together, but have seen your car in the 4th of July car show up there.

Count me in please.

Fantastic progress. Hearing it run, had to be a big relief.

None of it was easy. Thursday night, the owner of the frame shop kicked the car out of his shop after a month of tinkering with the frame. I had completely replaced the entire suspension and couldn't come close to aligning the front tires, so it's off to the shop. If it was not out of his place by Monday...a wrecker was haulin it to the junkyard. He agreed to transfer my body to the new frame, (if I could get one AND have it to his shop Monday AM) Couple calls and the owner of the car agreed to help me out and sell the frame, IF I would help him strip the car of what he wanted. Met the owner of the running/ driving Lemans @ 7am. The two of us had the car completely stripped, engine/trans, front clip, complete interior, wiring, doors, side glass and loaded on my car dolly by 1pm and heading home. Went to work bustin loose rusted body mounts. Of course the 1st one, with my feet on the frame and a 4 foot length of pipe. Broke the bolt and the pipe of course opened a nice gash under my right eye. Quick fix with duct tape and back at it. After claiming my prize rolling frame, kept hearing this ping noise. Down on one knee trying to pinpoint the noise when the block exploded. No time to move, launched myself backward's, landing on my back staring at the sky, with this body less than 3 ft from my legs. The crash noise brought my wife/family and neighbors running to find me laying in the grass (sayin a quick thank you prayer) Not thinking about the entire side of my face covered in blood from the gash under my eye. Sending the entire situation to the next level. Quickly jumping up to prove to everyone I was fine, then back to work. Had to get the Lemans body back in the air, to get it on the trailer and out of my way. Spent the next 2 days straight sanding preping, repairing rusted out body mounts, priming and painting. Yes I was there @ 7:30am Monday waiting for the frame shop to open. To this day he doesn't believe I pulled that one off. The frame jig lets the body be separated and dropped on the new frame. Smartass did not drop a couple bolts back in the body mounts and I almost lost the whole project getting it home, with the last mile+ being rough dirt roads!!!!!! Stopped soooo many times moving the body around and finally got it home. Now to rebuild the body front to trunk......WAIT thats a whole nother story.

I can laugh about it now........ Shortly after claiming my prize frame. A cement block exploded and the whole body crashed down, JUSTA missing me!!!!

Dude had mad skills, but as Ringo said, I was never a fan. Very sad for his family and fans.

Wow, from 0-2 seen in the same day!! Welcome to the site.

I like the fuzzy seats.....
