The customer removed the motor and transmission to have it done in his local shop. After 22 years of ownership, he has decided it is time to revive the Old Goat!
  Here is the Old Goat being readied for soda blasting
  Rear view
  Right door appears to have had some past issues
  Left door has had some minor issues
  Roof also has had some issues
  Left fender has some rot that was under the molding. This is typical as the water collects there along with debris that is kicked up from the tires and keeps it moist.
  The hood also has a fair amount of issues. All in all, not too bad.
  Radiator support mounts are rotted
  After cutting out the rust, we have fabricated new support panels. We will drill them open once we have it finished out.
  Driver side front floor reveals some rotted metal in the typical by the pedals area.
  Right side floor at the kick panel / hinge pillar side also is rotted
  Hiding in the trunk floor by the driver side inner wheelhouse is a rotted floor and reinforcement brace.
  Trunk floor at the rear body panel also is rotted.
  We have patched the driver side floor. Can you tell?
  Rear frame crossmember reveals some impromptu towing in the past. Did you know GTO's could act as a tow vehicle?
  The inner right side wheelhouse reveals some rotten secrets.
  Now that all the body rot has been taken care of, we will prepare to remove the body from the frame.
  Here is the body coming off for the first time in 38 years
  Front view of the divorce.
