A lot of very nice work done.  That will be one fun car to drive when you get it finished.  Everything in the pictures looks first rate!

Welcome to the clan of 65 GS lovers. A fine looking ride. Would love to see it run when done. The 2nd annual Northwest Ohio Gathering will be held in Defiance, Ohio. Stay tuned as Rollaround and I get a plan together we will supply information to the group.

Future plan is to install a 200R4.Keep the R's down on the highway is always a good thing.
