67 GT500 number 683 lives after about 45 years in pieces

[BeaterGT500]

Finally got it running and stopping.  Still lots to do, but a huge step forward.  So many thanks are due to so many SAAC members for their help with finding the right parts, proper finishes, process guidance, vendor services, and just motivation to keep going after dragging this mess home 22 years ago.  Now it's home, running, and hopefully going to see the streets later this summer after the front clip and rear fiberglass gets done.  No time for paint, carpet or door windows.  Going to rip around in primer like a 70's street machine for a while, no hood and tall stacks.  It was a custom 70's street machine when it was left for dead in about '77-'78, so I figure I owe it at least a year like that before finishing it all "properly". 
Lexan windows came from a drag car for $80, velocity stacks from a lake race boat.  I kinda like the view from the driver seat.

I love that look from the drivers seat

You will turn some heads this summer driving it around

Well done on sticking to it and finding the time to get it done
Sometimes finding the time is the hardest part

Is red the factory colour ?

John,
   Very cool, that's a milestone for sure. I'm struggling to just get my 69 GT350 convertible to that point but I'll get there. Don't lose focus on your end game and you'll get there. Congratulations!

Boy, does that bring back memories. I too ran around in the very early 70's with no hood and velocity stacks! No hood because of a carb fire. Velocity stacks because I still couldn't afford air cleaner assembly.
