Default GTO Is Back Home

Well, it's back where it belongs. The pictures have terrible backgrounds, but that's how it was. The color is a very hard one to capture as you see it with your eyes. It's so metallic that it "burns" the exposure where the light reflects directly off of it. Also, I had to limp the car home. It had been started so many times to move it around that most of the plugs were fouled. It's a tri-power with no choke and the heat risers in the heads are welded up. It takes gas to get it started and keep it running, but it is very easy to flood. I put in new plugs as soon as I got home, and reinstalled the nitrous bottle.

Sweet! And no worries about the backgrounds, no one is looking at that anyway!
