I just have the 68 my brothers and I own. I'd really like to have an 84-85. 302, T-tops, that burnt orange color they had then. I remember test driving one when I was washing cars at a dealer back in 85.

Damn you guys talk alot, lol.
Thats sacrilege! 
Have any pics? I always loved the body style ever since I watched Bullitt as a lad.
Really? Go through all that work and he didn't beef up the rearend? I would prefer not to trash the rearend initially.

Thanks. They both actually belonged to my mom. The 39 was restored by my late step father and I. She bought the 68 pretty much the way it looks, except for the wheels. It had stock hubcaps and whitewalls. It needed tires, so my brothers and I decided to upgrade the rolling stock!

You did an excellent job on the restore.
Damn fine choice too, I always thought they made the look of the car. I found a company who can modify a set for my so I can put them on my 80 after the 5 lug swap.

Yeah, those magnums made a HUGE difference in the look, especially with the BFG's. The 39 was done all in lead for bodywork. My stepdad taught me how to do it, and I never want to do it again!! A lot of work!

I honestly thing the BFG are the only tire that works with the look and feel of the wheel, lol.
I have seen lead done a handful of times, always wanted to learn as I hate body filler and try to shy away from it every chance I get.
