Ok so i have most of my parts minus the wheels and springs, these are pics of the first day i got to really tear into it, the rear suspension cam apart and went together far easily than expected, but the front is starting to turn into a pain in the arse.

Good to see another 68 coming back to life. I hope to get started on mine again soon.

Well my wheels and tires are on the way, 315 in the rear and 275 in the front, i got lucky and got a set of 17" ZR1 black with silver lip with vredestein ultrac sessanta, has anybody used these before, from what ive read they are supposed to be fantastic tires

Looks like you are making some real progress there should be a nice car when its all said and done. As far as the vredstein tires go my friend just got some for his Z06 because he heard so many good things he should have them mounted sometime next week. I will let you know what he thinks.

Got my Wheels and Tires Today! now just waitin on the springs!

awesome man! do me a favor and let me know how awesome it is when ur done, i still have atleast a month till im done and would like to know what to expect. Oh and if anybody would like to know what all im doin, Im installing 1 1/4" front sway bar 1" rear. UMI boxed lower and tubular upper rear trailing arms, poly front end rebuild kit, Tokico shocks, eibach pro kit springs, tires are obvious, complete rewire including new fuse panel, and covans dash.

ill let you know.
but i have black magic circle track springs with adjusters and revalved bilstein shocks. stock a arms though. springs are 550/175.. should be similar, but the height in the front is adjustable. rear springs are 11" tall with no spacers or anything (tucks a 26" tire).
i hope to have it on the road in the next month, i will let everyone know what i think of it.

good luck man.

Went to the track this weekend and my friend ran pretty decent on those Vredsteins much better than his worn out Pilot Sport 2s. However, I was surprised how round the tread is, he aired them down to 25 and they still weren't getting a full contact patch. The tire still hooked good and he even got a 1.88 60'.

Ok well i got the rear suspension completely done now, next nice day out im gonna start reassembling the front suspension, wish me luck, haha

Ok well i got the rear suspension completely done now...



Just curious, why aren't you sanding and painting the frame/underside of your car so it looks as good as those fresh parts you're installing?

Regards.

im just doin the fun studd right now, if i was gonna do that, id pull the entire body off and do everything, but ill save that for when i do a complete restoration. Thats how tune ups turn into full blown restorations...

You said you where rewiring the whole car and new fuse block!
If you dont mind what kind of wiring setup are you using and if its done already how did it turn out any probs?

Well it is from a company called E-Z Wiring, thats gonna be the last thing i do. ill def let you know how it goes

Ok so i got the front suspension put back together today minus the sway bar, it seems some of the holes are too corroded and messed up so im gonna need to retap them and put bigger bolts, has anybody had this problem before or have any suggestions?
