Dean, don't be misled by the 'vaseline-on-the-lens' shots. This car was built in a suburban backyard shed and there is plenty of evidence of that to be seen. GTOs were racing cars from the early 60s and as someone who raced cars in the 60s and 70s I know that preparation was all about performance not appearance. If you ask me, those trailer-queen GTOs lined up on the lawn at Pebble Beach are a gross misrepresentation. At Laguna Seca I saw the only un-molested GTO and it looked like it had been maintained in a suburban backyard shed so I'm not ashamed of mine.

Setting off tomorrow on our trip and looking forward to meeting yourself and other Redbacks at the Rezz on Easter Sunday.
