Re: '68 GTO Cloning

I bought some Doug's headers for it but have never installed them yet. I'm waiting to buy exhaust (probably Pypes Violator with an X-pipe). I also bought new door locks because, as you can see in the previous pics, the drivers side was missing and it was just a hole. I rebuilt the worn out rear end with a Richmond 3.90 ring and pinion and put an Auburn locker in it, so it's a locked axle (gets scary coming out of a stop light). I spent almost $1000 rebuilding the rear. I wish now that I had gotten a Detroit locker instead because they are rebuildable and the Auburn lockers aren't. Here's a couple pics after I got it home and worked on it a little. I also replaced the terrible looking black mirrors with some chrome ones that I got from O'Reilly's for about $20. Looks WAY better. I bought some new tires for it too. It had old fiberglass belted tires on it that were bald when I got it. It has an oil leak, as you can see in the pictures.
