Thread: 34 3 Window Re-Build

Tweet

I have been hanging around here for a while now and have been convinced to start a project build thread. Some of this story has been told here and on other forums but I will give a short replay.

I bought the coupe in 1966 just a few months after I bought a new 66 GTO; in fact towed it home behind the GTO. In 1968 my brother totaled the GTO coming home from a going away party the night before being shipped off to V.N., he received only a few cuts and bruises and shipped out the next day. Out came the sbc running gear I planed on using for the coupe and in went the 66 GTO running gear after buying it back from the Ins. co. for $300. Did the build myself with what little money, skills and tools I had at the time. The most elaborate tools I owned was a 185 amp ac buzz box and Sears air compr. Built what mounts I needed using scrap metal I found laying around and the buzz box. The B/W pic, about 1968/9, shows some of the rear mounts made with that scrap. The next pic is a color photo of the finished coupe about 1975. The paint I did myself with that Sears air compr. Those are the only pics I have found of the first build, must of left the rest with the X. Will show some pics of the re-do with the next post.

Jack.
