My L-88 Clone.
First one was a year after purchase doing bodywork.
Second one six months after paint. It was a long haul and quite a pain, but I love that car.
Lots of help from this forum as well.

rebuilt 327 ready to drop in (mostly)
The 327 made it in, saat there for a couple of weeks and came back out due to a tranny leak. The 64 M21 came out and Im rebuilding the 68 M21 to go back in. All new gears and caged rolller bearings along with the original shifter
My girl, Jennifer. Most expensive date I've ever had. Base 327/300HP. 4 Speed, Air, Power Steering, Brakes, and Windows. Hard top. Repaint in the 80s. All original except carb, radiator, alternator, one of the horns, and wiper vacuum can; working on getting those replaced.
With all the 1968 Corvette thread activity on the Forum lately - trying to keep track of the members here who owns '68s. I know a few but am sure there are lots more. If you own one (or 2 or 3 or more) let me know - coupe/ convertible, drivetrain combo, etc.... Love the 68s'. Thanks for your time..
My 37,000 mile L 36, Bronze with Tobacco, original top etc.

Very nice. Can you confirm the color combo. I also have a 68. I am restoring back to original, best I can anyways. Corvette Bronze with Dark Orange interior. Yours appears close.
