Knowing that, i would say paint the other 2 red as well. You cant go wrong with redlines with rallyes or PO2"s

Very nice machine!!

My vote is for the Redlines and the Rally's. (Nothing wrong with the "Homemade" redlines in my opinion, they look great. I love doing things like that) . Great car.

I noticed when I took off the 2 hub caps that the rims were NOT coded AZ, but instead were coded a "KH". Are these leftover 1967 rims? This is a Nov 15th 1967, 1968 Car.

Also I found the trim rings incredibly hard to put on. I took both of them off my 1971. One ring had 1 clip across from the value hole and the other ring had clips at about 40 degrees away from the hole. Both were a bitch to put on!

KH stands for Kelsey-Hayes; they made all C3 rally wheels.

68 rally wheels are coded AG for 7". AZ began in 1969 or 8" wheels.

7s are correct for all 68s, but it was popular to swap to 8s after they became available.

You did a fantastic job of painting the white lines...couldn't tell at all! Knowing that much, I'd say keep on keeping on and make the other two red. I assume you can remove the red if you had painter's remorse?
Very cool car.

I can't decide, they both look great.

I notice you have the passenger door mirror. Was that a factory fit option or as mine, are they an aftermarket item ?

Great job on the redlines! Not to be different, my preference would be the PO2s with the redlines! Great looking '68.
Regards,

I got the car that way but I read the passenger mirror was NOT an option in 1968, so kinda bummed as everything else seems original. I just got this car a month ago... Still going through it after I purchased a NCRS judging book.
