Project: Second time around...

This is going to be my '68 that I just got painted before this summer. When I started this project me and my wife just had our first kid and with tight funds. It was just going to be a beater build. Well it continued to grow and become more and more. Now that I've been driving it for the past three months I wish I'd done a better job. The biggest thing that bothers me is who ever cut the frame down didn't do a very good job... It's not even or right and at the time it's all I had. Second thing that I don't like is the big block. For my daily driver it uses to much fuel for the power it has... which is gutless. And I don't know who built it and I don't really trust it. Third thing I wish I'd painted and cleaned up everything. This go around I'll paint and detail everything. I'm still going to drive my '68 while I'm building this frame. I'll do all I can until I need to put the cab on and go from there. It'll have front and rear dropmembers, a carb'd 5.3 (have to be able to run my caddy air cleaner!!!), not for sure what tranny yet (some kind a automatic), I'll paint everything under the hood and I'll do the inside of the cab/jams. It'll get new glass (mine is scratched to hell.) I'll do a few different things to the outside of the body. It'll stay silver and white and it'll stay flat (which I love!) It'll get all new trim. Well see how it goes this time around.

Here's the two links that started this build.
