Been posting on the board for a bit over a month now and wanted to thank everyone for the help. Due to that help I've finally gotten to the point when I'm ready to post pics of the car. Got some of the questionable mods done to the car back to stock and got the car all cleaned up. So, thanks again and heres the pics. First pic is as delivered, rest are current.

You can't beat the Shark body style and a big block to boot.

You've got the best of both worlds.

Beautiful color combo.

Your 68 is sharp! Black on red with red lines is something to behold. Going to need a napkin to clean up the drool I just got all over the desk here.

I'm normally not a fan of red interiors, but it sure looks good with this black body.
