I have noticed on my1968 , that when I am going about 50 to55 mph, I am getting some bouncing in the front end. When I am slower there is NO notice of this. Any ideas where to start ???

Don't know exactly what you mean with a bouncing front end, but if you mean it is moving up and down, could be that the brackets that hold the front header bar to the sideskirts is missing.
