Cool!

I have my grandpa's 68. It is a rusty old beater, but I laugh my butt off every time I take it out for a spin.

And welcome from Austin

I have already bought a crate 350 (4 bolt) and 700 trans (new)

New driveshaft and front discs are already on the way!

Yes, I know this is gonna cost a fortune, but this will be my daily driver...and I can't afford to break down everytime I drive.
