Wow......

I recently had the following done to my 68 and WOW what a difference.

- all bushings replaced under the car- front and rear
- New idler arm
- some new steering components (???)
- steering box rebuilt
- front springs replaced
- brakes replaced front and back
- trans rebuilt
- 3:70 gears installed (3:08 orig.)
- dynomax headers to2.5" with flowmasters
- fresh tune up
- new valve covers
- etc...

What a difference. It's now an ever greater joy to drive.

Thanks for listening.

Vince
