Hello everyone,
I bought my 1968 back in 1983 when I was in the Air Force, stationed in Texas and was 22 yrs old. I managed to hang on to her through the years, although she was parked since 1990 as life, wife and kids took a front seat. My son and I finally blew the dust off and began to ready her for the street. I truly enjoy working on this car, even though it took days for my body to heal after installing a new brake booster
. I am looking forward to meeting and learning from the members here and thank you all for sharing the passion for these great cars.
