Nice Buy on the tail gate!
Let me know if you ever want to sell it. I could use one with original paint.

Re: My 68 swb build.
All you have to still paint is the bed plus touch up right? I wouldn't think that you'll be 3000+. And if it were me I would have the same guy spray all your paint. I learned that lesson the HARD way!!!

Re: My 68 swb build.
i know that, but the guy who did the paint etc on the cab and front clip isnt going to finish or start any more jobs because hes suppose to be working for an actual body shop and not for himself....that is also him fixin everything and lining up the rest of the truck...

Re: My 68 swb build.
Dang that sucks. ESP since it was looking really good what he was doing. But going to have to roll with it then. If you are doing all that then might not be a bad deal as you wouldn't have to fork any money out of pocket. Id put in there though that if it doesn't match that he needs to spray the exterior of the cab and front clip to match. And put it on paper or you might get screwed.

Re: My 68 swb build.
I dont think it's a bad idea. I'd def consider doing it. I need to go to Outback again and see if Roger will give me some parts for not-a-raping. Everytine I look at your truck I like it more BTW

Re: My 68 swb build.
That color is my favorite and I like the shave that you have on it. Typically dont like shaved drip rails but yours looks great. And sweet headlights. Plus I think that it has to be my favorite 68 that I've seen yet (I'm a 71/72 fan). Just looks right. Someday if u need help I might be able to come help u out when I come up to Outback anyway. Would like to see in person. Damn and like slickrick I need a black dash pad too

Re: My 68 swb build.
Start at the top and work your way down with the windshield. Use a paint stir stick to push things around so they fit.
I did it by myself this way without breaking it and had never done that type of windshield seal before.

Re: My 68 swb build.
The ride height looks great and the tire size fits the wheel wells very well. Nice choice on both.
