Nice job ! I like the color as well and your engine bay looks great. The M/T valve covers are still one of the sharpest made IMO.

Mike, looks like you have put a lot of time and effort in your 68. Will the back of the car lower down an inch or two?

You should be very proud, it looks as if all that time and hard work are paying off big time.:thumbsup:

if it will get lower dont know but maybe it should once start driving her,it is sitting a lil high but im diggin it, also got air shocks full dont know if that matters,
and the color has a faint lite blue pearl to it, i was surprised wen i went to go look at it after it was painted. but it still need wet sand and buff and fix sratches ans chips made by me and ma father while assembling
and thanks

Very Nice!!! I can only wish my car were even close to being this far along...

Just a few things I would do if it were my car:

1. You obviously spent a lot of time in the engine compartment, so I would spend some time routing the plug wires for a cleaner look.

2. The tailpipes look like they are hanging very low or not "turned" right if that makes sense. Just looks like they should tuck up a little closer...

Not criticisms by any means, just little things I would do for a cleaner overall look! Btw, I love the wheels!

i don't know if it was a good idea to paint the headers orange. that stuff is going to burn up right away, and i can't imagine what color is going to be left. You should probably let the air out of the air shocks, that rear end is WAY up there, could cause some vibrations plus some wheel hop.

otherwise, looks great, i personaly like the 68 over the 69
