Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)
I still need to paint the intake manifold (it's in primer now). This is what they all started out like.

Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)
If any of you come across a factory GTO hood for sale from a 65-67, like the pictures on the first page, would you let me know? I'm looking for a spare. It doesn't have to be in excellent shape, but not a lot of rust or major damage. I'd rather do factory vs. these repop garbage so I won't have a ton of extra work to get it to fit, but if anyone knows of a good repop, I'll consider it too.
Thanks,

Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)
Just in case any of you are curious, I'm still making changes to the GTO. Bought a new set of Dakota Digital VHX gauges in black alloy face.

Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)
I'll have to take a look at your looong version when I've got time at home. I've read the first 8 or so posts and it sounds like a cool story. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)
I was playing with MS Paint today and tried to put the future wheels on the GTO to get a better idea of how it would look. This is the result, probably not very accurate, but fairly close. What do you think?

Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)
Well, I changed my mind and went with a different wheel. Travis with azproperformance.com helped me with all my measurements and ordering the wheels. Placed the order this morning for these:
![]() 18x8's up front and 18x9's out back. I like the style and overall look a lot. Plus, I think they'll hold up over time without getting dated so fast as the Foose Knuckle's I was going to get. They're cheaper than the Foose wheels too. I was able to save enough to buy one for a spare!

Car looks sweet! It is amazing how wheels can change the complete look of a car (or truck). Might have to steal some of these photos for our gallery.... if you don't mind.
