Lookin' good! And, the chrome rack is a positive addition [IMO] with the color you chose.

Very nice color and being a 68 just makes it

I hope you don't mind me asking though, what made you decide to paint the rockers body color instead of black?

This project started in August of 2006. The car has probably 10 miles or less on the rebuilt engine.

The next pictures will most likely be of it done and driving on the road. It will be all back together this week. Then to a shop to get a few issues fixed. Then our friend will be detailing it.
