note to self: if you get the car media blasted make sure you tape up all the holes in the chassis otherwise you have to unstitch the car to clean it out. you will also experience small piles of media forming on the floor everytime the car is bumped or moves.

At this stage I had a great shell and all the little parts which you could never get without a car. I will post some more pictures when I have some time of all the bodywork we completed to get it perfect & straight.

Great car, the '68's are my favorite. I'd like to have one with a modern drive train and all the creature comforts. Wish you all the best with this restoration. What are your exterior and interior colors going to be and what engine are you planning to use?

thanks John. I'm about 10% of the way through posting pictures on this post. The car is already a long way ahead & close to paint. I'll post some samples of the chosen paint color shortly.
