Car looks great. I sent you an invitation to a group of other 68 owners. "68 owners unite" any other 68 guys out there you are also invited. We are just trying to create a network of people willing to help each other out.

I didn't change the ride height - it's pure stock, but I did rebuild all of the front suspension.
The rear suspension needs rebuilt bad...and it's going to need a new passenger trailing arm. (may be good time for an 2" offset)
The look really changed when I changed out the 225/70/15 tires with a new set of 255/60/15. Tight fit but no problems at all so far.
Thanks Again

Way to go. The rear steel spring if thats what it has, may be saggin a bit, which gives it a nice height. I have the mono composite and will have to get some 10 inch spring bolts to get the height I need.
