This is the build of the MetalWorks Pro-Touring 1968 GTO. The goat will be powered by a Wegner Motorsports LS3 running MSD Atomic LS fuel injection. The LS will be tied to a TREMEC 6 speed manual transmission. Other goodies will include an Art Morrison chassis, Wilwood 6 & 4 piston brakes, and Budnik wheels.

Looks like a good build!

The 68's body was pretty solid, but we did have to replace a section of the trunk floor...but it didn't take long to get the body into primer.

Hey, that's how it's done on TV. They cut to a commercial break then come back and the car is almost finished.

Love the rendering...keep the pics coming.

Ha ha...yes, "in primer in a single post"...figured I'd spare you guys the countless hours of body work...plus I'm playing major catch up on the build, but wanted to show the overall process.

Here are a few pics of the 68 painted, then undergoing hours of wet sanding and buffing.

Took deliver of a pair of Art Morrison chassis...one for our 68 GTO, the other for a 67 GTO project. Dis-assembled the frame, and put it in a nice coat of black.
