Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

It's ONLY a 10.5 hour drive each way. Google says it's only 2HR 5 MIN to fly though.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Not a bad drive in my Denali, not so much in my 68 SWB....:lol:.

Your engine looks awesome man! Nice work and I like the contrast you used.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Just finished reading the thread from start to finish. This truck is beautiful. All the little touches you've put in have made this thing amazing.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

engine and bay looks amazing !!!!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Thank you guys , only a few items left to complete on it before road testing begins . I'm actually holding out on those until I get my new lift installed in the shop . Been needing ( at least that's what I told the wife) :)one for years and finally bit the bullet on one .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Awesome, I would love to have a lift in my garage. Can't wait to see you road testing this truck :devil:

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Love this pic! Tucked and it looks like you have room to turn.
Do you know how much narrower your track width is than stock?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Yeah , I've been going back and forth about buying one for the last few years . You know , when I was younger I could slide a piece of cardboard under a vehicle and spend the day working underneath it . Now I'm hurting after 30 minutes ! :)

I don't remember the actual width but I can get you a measurement

sweet video , nice rocking cam !!!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

All I have to say is WOW that BBC sounds awesome :metal::metal::metal: what are the specs on the cam if you don't mind me asking. Also it looks like your running an 8" dual diaphragm booster, how is the vacuum for your power brakes? I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with mine.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Nice!!!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Engine sounds incredible!
