Red 1967 GTO convertible, right rear view. You can see Bill Bolin's dual blower 1970 GTO in the background. See that rectangle white box in front of Bill's car? I thought it was a computer graphics glitch - a white box I accidentally made on the picture. After close examination of the original, I found out it is a back of a sign marking one of the popular voting classes. All national shows should have these signs. They guide the public when they're making their popular voting choices. Seeing them, the cars get parked by category, and it is easier to tell which cars to write down on the voting forms. CLICK->
This white 1967 GTO hardtop had a Ram Air engine under the hood. CLICK->

Sean in a pedal car demonstrating his new method for doing a burnout. First you block off the front wheels so the pedal car won't accelerate wildly through the crowd. Then you fake it by drawing on very fake smoke with Photoshop computer program.

Sean Mattingly sits inside his Cameo Ivory 1968 GTO hardtop. This car got several improvements since the last national show. It now has a different passenger side fender, a non-rusty trunk lid, repainted spoiler, Flowmaster mufflers, and ceramic coated Ram Air exhaust manifolds from R.A.R.E. (Ram Air Restoration Enterprises), a new Pro-Tork mini starter, and a passenger-side mirror. See the dashboard tiger? It has a lot of miles on it. Then, in the Spring of 2007 the car got another improvement. Here's what Sean wrote to the members of the GTO Email List: Whaa-hoo! I finished up the installation of the Hurst Line/Loc tonight. It's fun being able to lock up the front brakes and do burnouts anytime! During the install of the Hurst Line/Loc I learned this stuff:
(1) No wife will get up and help you bleed brakes at 1:30am.
(2) Don't pump the brake pedal with the master cylinder cover OFF unless you want a brake fluid fountain spraying all over the engine compartment.
(3) Don't forget and tap the brake pedal when a brake line is off the side
of the master cylinder. Geyser-time!
(4) If a crusty old brake line requires more than two adaptors on the end,
throw it out and get a new piece of line that's already made with the right
fittings on each end.
(5) A Mity-Vac vacuum tester is also a great one-man brake line bleeder.
(6) While working around and under a car, I can find at least six different
ways to accidentally spill a tall bottle of brake fluid. Hit it while
reaching for a wrench, drag the trouble light cord over it, smacked into it
with the corner of the creeper, kick it to the other side of the driveway
while getting dirt out of my eye, etc.
(7) A car with hideaway headlights has the perfect way to get a power wire
from the engine compartment to under the dash. Run the Line/Loc power wire
through the bigfat hideaway vacuum hose grommet in the firewall. Easy.
On a good day, I fix more things than I break.
