I just would like to thank all on the forum for your support and hospitality.
I wanted to share some of my achievements with everyone and reflect back on what a ride it was building the GTO. I can truly say I learned more in 3 years then I have ever learned in my life, I met and made more friends in 3 years then I ever have made in my life. Everyone at Lateral-G THANK YOU.

I would like to congratulate Phil and Jeremy Gerber of The Roadster shop
I would also like to congratulate Roger Lee of Iron works speed and custom for his accomplishment. It was truly a Honor to be surrounded by all of you at the design awards. Your vehicles were amazing and I have always idolized you vehicles.

Thanks for all the plumbing on the car, I still have plenty of extra fittings.

I want the next car I do to use those RedHorse fittings, there a A+ in my book.


Oh and Greg Weld thanks for the compliments on the car.

Hey I got to hand it to your car, it deserves a honorable mention to say the least. I am glad you built this car, I really like second gen firebirds. Believe it or not the 70-73 Firebird was love at first sight when I first saw one. It was not a 65 GTO like all may think,

The car is in hot rod on page 53,along with all the other guys that might drive on the power tour. I know I am going to try.

There is a little nice description of the car and it is stated rather well.

I will be further involved with hot rod magazine, I am excited by it and the oppurtunites it may bring. The car will be at the grand national roadster show.

Was watching a DVR'd episode of Hot Rod TV and saw this bada$$ GTO. Is there a build thread or any more pictures of it? Loving the wheels. Specs?
