Andrew Kuncas shows us the difference between Restified vs. Restored engine compartments. Andrew comments, "The engine compartment of Jeff Long's '67 Lemans convertible (top) compared to a correct original '67 GTO (bottom). Jeff's engine isn't numbers matching or date code correct but it does make close to 350 hp on 87 octane! A genuine '67 HO open air cleaner sits on a '71 Rochester. The intake is a '72 which matches the '77 Trans Am 6X heads that have the more desireable '4' stamp which signifies a smaller combustion chamber. The valve covers are rechromed TA pieces with welded in oil deflectors which take the place of the old GTO drip rails. The decked block is a '68 400, .060" over displacing about 412 cubic inches. The rods were
resized and fitted with ARP rod bolts. The cam is a Summit grind like the 068 but more lift. It has a GTO windage tray and a baffled TA
oil pan as the Lemans does handle. The exhaust manifolds are off a '71 Grandville, sandblasted and treated to Eastwoods paint. The distributor is recurved. All the accessory brackets and pulleys and the timing case cover came offa junkyard '66 Catalina."CLICK-> 
 
Red 1967 GTO sport coupe owned by Chris Romero from Raymore, Missouri. He bought this one on eBay. It had just gotten painted and it needed an interior and chrome. The body was wavy, so Chris is redoing it.CLICK-> 
Here's some pictures of Chris's 67 GTO right after he got it.CLICK->

So... The bright corvette red paint gets sanded down.CLICK->

Here are some more pictures that Chris just sent in. Looks like he's got it painted and is starting assembly. So THAT'S how you accidentally lock your keys in the trunk! (If you had a trunk lid)CLICK-> 
Chris has some of the rear chrome installed. Looking good! Still needs some glass.CLICK->

Chris has some of the front clip installed. Looks like Chris collects model cars too. One thing that some owners frequently replace on their cars is the core support. Luckily, this part is available as a new reproduction part. I heard from a guy named Bob that successfully installed one. He says this; "I purchased a reproduction core support made by Dynacorn earlier this year for my non-air, '67 GTO hardtop. The first thing that I noticed is that it seemed a few pounds lighter than the original. But after that, everything seem to fit really well. There are some threaded nuts welded at various locations on the part that lined up correctly to accept outer fenders, inner fenders, and the grillle supports. This includes the "tee" shaped fascia sheetmetal that the grilles mount into. There were no nuts welded onto the piece to accept the hood bumpers. I just
took my old ones and double nutted them to stay in place. After first painting the whole assembly underhood black and installing it,
one would never know that it was a repro. Thumbs up!"
