68 progress

Getting closer. A lot of work has gone into it since buying a pretty rough 68 off the forum a couple years ago.
Drove it in the neighborhood for the first time. Need a good 4 wheel alignment before getting it out on the open road.

Yes, I have them and have had them on. They are very tight even after trimming to fit. Just figured I would leave them off until after it is painted

Thats Beautiful

I remember your Blue C3, just Drop Dead Gorgeous, was one of my Fav's on the Forum, was shocked when you sold it. You planning on after market wheels for this one?

Thanks. I'm leaning towards after market. Want something different this time. Just haven't found the right wheel yet. Any suggestions?

I do like the TTii's. Thats what I had on the blue 71. I was also looking at these. American Racing BLVD's but I can't find them in the right backspacing. 4.5 inch is all I can find.
What are ya'lls thoughts?
