ok the car is back at the house, the outside has been blocked and sealed, the body lines look great on the car thanks to REX, the door jams, trunk and hood jams have been painted the color of the car (black) and cleared. also the interior metal has been sealed and the dash has been painted black and cleared. so the car will go back for final paint after i finish working under the hood of the car and doing the wiring. i want to work on the car before it gets painted to keep from leaning on a fresh paint job while working on the car. you can notice i have a 3 inch drop up front, i used the lower tubular a-arms to get a 2 inch drop along with 1 inch lowering springs, i still have to pull the gas tank, rearend, and leaf springs, once they are out i will be sanding, painting, and replacing them, i will also be installing the rear disk brakes at that time and lowering the rear of the car 3 inches. well enough talk here are the pics.

ok here is a lil update, i been sanding alot of rearend parts, waiting on rearend parts, painting rearend parts, and i am tired of 41 year old rearends. anyway the underside back half of the car has been sanded to metal and undercoated with 3m undercoating, rex did the front half, the rearend has been taken to metal and repainted, along with the gas tank. i ended up having to get new rear leaf springs as one of them was broken. i worked on the fuel system today and got that finished up. more pictures will come as i begin to install the leaf springs and rearend. enjoy

ok i had the day off and thought i would try to make some progress on the car today, i got more done than i thought i would and it wasn't to bad considering i worked on it by myself. i did get the rearend installed and the rear disk brakes and lines, next step is to bleed the brakes so that will be done along with the fuel system. i ordered 1 7/8 ceramic coated headers for the car and they have a 2 week wait period so it looks like there will be a lil break period before i can do anything else to the car. ok onto the pics.

Having a '68, I feel right at home looking at these pics. I like it! Great job! I think you made the right choice on going with the '68. The more I see the new cars on the road, the more I dislike them. Besides, your car is going to be worth every penny you invest... and then some!

man nice. 100% reminds me of my car everything looks similar besides the ls1 ha. Went old school nasty sbc can't beat the sound and the tuning of a carb, although i want to do one of the lsx conversions in one for a highway like power tour cruiser and reliability.
Looks awesome man wish i knew how to do body work.
