| 1968 GTO Convertible The LS2 powered Pontiac build continues. |
 The intake manifold is painted and installed, along with the coils, headers, and throttle body.  The body is wrapped in a protective layer of foam during the assembly process.  The body control harness is custom made from a 2003 Escalade dash harness. This is the view of the body control and related harness. This will be responsible for some very modern features, such as Retained Accessory Power, automatic head lamps, remote keyless entry, sport shift mode, express down power windows, and the Escalade gauge cluster. All of our wiring connections are made with either a GM (Delphi) terminal in the appropriate connector or solder-connections. You will not find a crimp or splice connector anywhere on our cars.  Spike is seen wiring in the relay center. The Powertrain Control Module and Body Control Module control use relays to perform their functions. All of our wiring setups are built using GM wiring schematics to ensure that they follow the factory's design.  The body harnesses have been run and exterior lights installed. The car now has 'eyes' and 'teeth.' She's really starting to look like a GTO now. Also visible is the A/C condenser mounted between the grilles and the radiator.  The underside of the car with the propeller shaft made, painted and installed. Note the fuel and brake lines securely bracketed to the inside left frame rail.  A view of the back of the front crossmember. Note the front brake line layout.  The serpentine drive system from Synister Products has been installed. We have found this to be the nicest system on the market for LS engine applications. The A/C and heater hoses have also been made and installed. Note the custom radiator hold down. The factory piece is large and does not look appropriate in front of the LS powerplant. We whittled this piece up to do the job. It will be painted to match the car.  A preliminary view of the relay center. All relays are labeled to ensure serviceability without guesswork. Don't fret, the loose wires have jobs but will not be connected until the job progresses a bit further. Go to page PREVIOUS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NEXT PAGE |
