Thread: Opel Gt

Tweet

Need some info. In the process of building a pro street 69 opel gt. Has anyone built one. I am getting ready to put in interior as well as steering. Any ideas. Anyone got any pics. on the firewall. These cars had some room but not much on the inside. I am struggling with what seat to run.
This is my first post so this is also a hi to everyone. I have painted cars for 20 + years and have taught at a tech. center for 16 years and i love every minute of it. So hi and i hope to post from time to time.

Welcome to the site.

I'm new at this rodding also . I'm learning that most is cut and weld till you like it . Sounds like you have a neat project going. There are a few building this type so watch the post's and maybe a idea or two will come to you.

I'm building a A and steering column placement is a issue also .

There is some Master's here (oldtimers) LOL J/K guys with some tricks and knowledge.

Master's of this trade come in all age's

ive got a friend that has built 3, and it is a cut and weld fab when your happy if you are changing out the OEM motor for a V8. there is no set pattern for cramming a softball into a baseball skin, its just what you can get to fit where. he uses the jaz drag seats from jegs or summit in his. as far as the firewall i use a large single piece of cardboard and trim it to fit as a pattern, then transfer that to a final piece of sheet metal.

A buddy of mine has one with a BBC/Powerglide, in it I'll try to bring my camera over and get you some pictures

Your gunna laugh ,but....those cars work really good with one bucket seat in the center of the car!!!!

Welcome neighbor. I am in Halifax, about 60 miles South. If you can catch up with Mike in Rustburg, he can help you I betcha.
My nephew had one, sold it at Charlotte a couple of years ago. Had a SBC.
