My oh my, has it really been TWO years since I updated this thread? Wow, so much has happened in the lapse, but suffice it to say, things are still going great with the GT! Last weekend was a productive one for me in the garage as the GT got some much deserved attention. I spent a couple afternoons swapping out all of the front end components, and making her handle and steer like she's supposed to.
It started a few months back when I took the original front end components from my '67 GTO and had them powder coated (A-arms, springs and sway bar). After installing a fresh set of urethane bushings and ball joints, I had them ready to swap out. So along with a new center link and tie rods, I completed the swap last weekend.
I decided this would be a great time to upgrade the rolling stock as well, so during the process, I did so. You can now see the new (15x8) Cragar Eliminator's and BFG Radial T/A's (235 60 15 up front and 255 60 15 out back). I decided that since both of my 67's are running Rally II's, I wanted to go a different route with the GT, but don't worry guys, the original 14x7 Rally II's are in safe keeping for any time I want to return the car to original.
Hope you guys enjoy the pics as much as I do! Even more, the car is such a pleasure to drive again. 91,000 original miles to date, and ever counting!
