My 5 year 68 build is pretty much done

I figured a build thread would be cool, and yall will like it better b/c you dont have to wait for progress. Bought it my jr year in highschool thinking I would be driving it my senior year. Well I was half right, Im a senior in college now and its pretty much done.
Here goes.

Heres a couple pics of when I bought it. Looked for one for a long time, with my dad fighting me the whole way. Didnt think it was a good idea. Well, during my build he ended up with 3 classics, I think its partially my fault . Anyway, I bought it for 3100, as I learned a lot on here, I figured I got raped on that price. The only sheetmetal that I am still using is the bed, one inner fender, the grill, and the cowl panel, it was that bad. The engine was a 283 and a rebuilt TH350 with a shift kit.




I drove it for a month or so until I got antsy and started pulling it apart. Did all the disassembly under the carport at home.


thats Freckles, my 13 yr old dog
