Yes that's my father in laws 72 GTO. Frame off 3 years ago. Then a couple valve guides went bad so he decided to just rebuild the whole motor. Welllllllll that went south quick after we got it back from the machinist. He indexed the cam wrong, the cam bolt only had 2 threads holding it on, and the Pistons were .020 out of the hole. So the motor is currently getting fixed at another shop.

Oh thats a nice one!!
Too bad about the motor, hope it works out at the new shop!

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Thanks. I'll tell him so

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Nice build. Like the natural metal firewall choice. dug

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Cool thread, looking to do the exact setup as yours except keeping the 235. The booster was the thing I wasn't sure on. Seems like most kits don't support keeping the clutch pedal intact.

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Mine supports a manual transmission. What they don't tell you is that it won't clear with the factory transmission crossmember in its original location.

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

This is going to turn out great!

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Nice job! Perfect stance. Good adaptation of the cross member for the trans. Lot to learn from this common sense build.

Interior pics ? ..couldn't get the video to work

Love the stance and whitewalls. Sick ride

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Hey thanks guys. No interior shots yet since the interior isn't finished. We just got her together for a big Rod Run here and I haven't stopped long enough to finish ahaha. I'll be finishing the rest this winter.

The video should load by clicking it. I'll upload it to YouTube

Re: "Daisy" My 1950 3100

Thank you I couldn't be happier with the way it sounds.
