Checked out your site. Looks like you're farther down the road than I am. I don't get a whole lot of time to work on the car. I'm hoping though to get some more practice welding and once I feel comfortable enough I'll probably force myself to get a lot of that done. Hey Zach, thanks for stopping by. Checked out your site.

I was amazed to see we have a very similar website. I'm restoring an '81 Trans Am. The website started out as a GTO restoration site but recently evolved to include the Trans Am. We can probably learn a lot from each other. Check it out. Lots of pictures in the gallery that may be of help to you. www.geraldsgto.com Great website.
