Finally after almost 3 years of direct "restoration", and 17 YEARS since the 68 has been started, my car is with the local experts to fine turn and fix anything I screwed up! Hopefully within a week I can hear that beast finally fire. Not bad for a novice just plugging away on the project as I get time. She's been towed everywhere for so long, I'll really enjoy driving it! (Hope the links work, it's been awhile since I was on the forum)
