BTW, found this link with a bunch of pictures of this beautiful car. Might want to peruse them to see if you get any ideas for yours!

nice link, i already have the 4 inch hood but its the rounded front not like the one in the picture above, that is a squared front hood

looking good man..black with a white yenko strip

[speedemon]

well if you didn't say you had a hood already id say just go with the stock ss hood with the chrome vents

Another difference between the 67 and 68 is that the 67's rear end was 1 inch wider.

I'd like to see what a nice dark charcoal would look like. Any stripes put on the car should be ghost. I think that'd look good, IMO. What'd you let the engine/trans go for?

i think he let it go for 1400 guy got a good deal

did some sanding on the interior metal today, also got the front frame pulled here are some more pics, both front floor pans are installed, its coming along nicely. hopefully going to be shooting some etching primer and sealer on the interior metal shortly. lol, just a little note to anyone using a angle grinder be careful and hold that bad boy with 2 hands when sanding cause when it hangs up or catches on something inside the car it will beat you to death lol. if it wouldn't have unpluged on me i would have been beaten up pretty badly by it. luckly i got away with a few nice scratches on my right arm and a nice blood blister on my thumb, all in all it was worth it as we got alot done today. will post more pictures as we move forward with the build.

really dont know on either yet, i was kinda thinking solid red, or a red and black 2 tone with silver pinstripe between the 2 colors, as for rims not sure yet, i have some weld rims and some torque thrusts, not sure on either yet, i am still looking for ideas.
