Default New from Pensacola

new here from Pensacola, Florida. Just picked up a 68 convertible quite literally in boxes. The body is completely apart and has had some glass work started on it and is also just sitting on the frame at this point. The chassis has been completely gone through, rearend rebuilt, new springs, bushings, control arms, steering box rebuilt(manual box) and tons of other things(acid dipped and painted too) I'll be here trying to gleen good information about the car and assembly for sure. Not sure whether to build the original 327 yet or use my ZZ crate motor. It's a 4-speed car and the purist in me says use that but I also have a brand new bowtie overdrives 700R4 with a mild converter sitting on the floor too. I LOVE the overdrive in my 70 Camaro so it's tempting! Thanks for having me!!

Welcome from a fellow C3 owner! When you can, I would love to see some pictures!


Don't forget to post a build thread in the C3 section for us to see and guide your progression.
