here are a few as it sits in the garage at night. not very good detail as it is black.
the angled line visible in the quarter is a clear bra i had installed to protect from rock chips

i would be glad to explain the process as best as i am capable.
i started off with a complete GTO rear tub. (great cars)
but, as i wanted this to be more in line with what i had in mind, i opted to close up the rear body gap between the rear quarter and the top of the tire.
my brother (hes the body man ) was kind enough to endulge me.
we cut the rear tub into sections , seperating the sides and the rear panel apart. my brother decided that it would be easiest to order the tires and wheels i wanted to run on the car and then mount the quarters to match the shape and size required.i installed american racing wheels 11 x17 with 315/35/17 tires.then with the tires on we set the quarters in place and refiberglassed and bonded it to the vehicle. at that time we also shaved and shorted the quarters so the rear panel could be mounted flush the to original rear z panel. i have a 1000 pics of the entire process beginning to end.its late here now, but i will snap a few shots and post them right now. if anyone is interested further i can take better pics later and post.
i might add that we did install coil overs and completely replace all the stock suspension so we could fine tune it when we finished. i wanted 1/2 inch gap between tires and quarters when finished as well as have the inner fender wells fiberglassed in and finished so we could paint and clear the entire underside of the car. it turned out better than i had hoped for and i have been thrilled to drive and show this car .we showed it at Motorsports west coast nationals a week after we finished it and won first place in modified class...

just in case anyone is interested i am posting a pic of my 74Z it has the rear GTO section. although we did fill in the ducts behind the rear wheels, lower the kits mounting points so it sets lower to the rear tires, shorten the rear body panel about 6 inches so it is flush against the stock rear body panel....

in some cases you need to remove the floor pedal stop under the clutch pedal to alow the pedal to go all the way to the floor . this will give you an extra inch or more throw. its the part with the little rubber pad on it. remove the pad and the bracket
-

-
i'll see if i can find and post a few interior pics for you

this 1600 is not a rocket. they never were. but with thats said, i enjoy the hell out of driving it around. there are a ton of engines people swap into them to make them rockets . if you want a rocket, a roadster might not be your best choice. i just love the fact that its all original and runs and drives so dang good. thats why i installed a new 1600 stock engine. i have race cars and i didnt need another. it is what it is and for a specialty purpose car it is perfect.
would i want to drive it as a daily driver? probably not. here in phx the no a/c is all the answer i need ...lol
it drives just how you would hope it would from looking at it. its just a fun little cute car...lol

custom 4 core radiator being built now

like someone said earlier. common in 240's. i have seen plenty in stock 240's break.
watch for the thin washer if you are installing a 240 axle again. it can get lost if the axle breaks. and if you dont know it was ever there you might leave it out. 280's didnt use this washer only 240's.
so its a set 240 axle ,washer, sleeve, and flange
or 280 axle ,sleeve ,and flange ...no washer
