In this case the Tail Panel and the Rear Window area are just mint. He was very fortunate there. In most cases these areas are just rotted to hell. It requires a lot of welding and panel replacement.

  • Now this 66 GTO only had a Two Speed Powerglide. It is not a bad transmission. You can build the shit outa them and make them haul ass. In the process though an extra gear is nice.

  • Also the extra Horsepower that a Turbo 400 will handle is great. It is a longer transmission though. Since this is the case we will need to check the overall lenght to make sure that the setback is correct.

  • Even though the holes are there on the passenger side of the frame I like to make sure before I weld in a part that is not modifiable. That would really be a pain in the ass to change.

  • Then we will set back the OEM Crossmember and measure it again. I will also check to see if the other set of holes on the passenger side match this measurement. If so then we are in business.
