This is my '68 short fleet that I purchased from board member billsbowtie.
I am going to incorporate ideas, how to's, and parts primarily from board members, and their suggestions. This will not be a frame off resto, just a mild upgrade from a previous build. Also, it may be slow at times with money being tight due to unemployment.

Starting with:
Rebuilt 350
Rebuilt TH400
New drum brakes all around
New starter
New alternator
HEI
Headers with full length exhaust

To do:
Resolve brake issue - DONE
Shorten steering column - DONE
Go through the steering and suspension - DONE
Replace old heated springs with new 2/4 drop springs - DONE
Replace shocks
New Radio - DONE
Custom kick panels - DONE
Custom door panels - DONE
Reupholster seat
Fix speedometer - DONE
Fix turn signals - DONE
Add gauges - DONE
Bodywork - DONE
Paint - Victory Red - Changed to Viper Red - DONE
Spray bedliner - Done
Add A/C

I will be doing all of the work myself.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. A man is not complete until he is married -- then he is finished.
