My Dad's 68 is now my 68
Hello Everyone, Just a note to let you know that after 14 months the 68 is almost done. Still have a few things to do. There are some pictures in my gallery if you are interested. Also, we were in a car show this past weekend, The Cabin Fever Car Show in Knoxville, Tn. Did not win, but what a blast just being there. Thanks, talk to you later.

Your 68 looks very sharp!! I can tell that you put alot of time and work into this restoration. Good job on detailing the engine compartment!
