Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Early on I had decided that I want to bag it so I got some photoshop inspiration thanks to a board member. Thank you Mayo.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Next CL score was a brand new tri plus chrome front bumper for $80. I then toyed with the idea of removing the front trim but have since decided to keep and glad I did. Since my old trim was bit tired I got a nice hood trim piece from board member Tooter, thanks Tooter! I was able to find a very nice oem d/s eyebrow at the Turlock swap for $7 and bought a NOS p/s eyebrow off eBay from CPP for $14.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Now that I had new brakes all the way around it was time for a brake booster, and it was free from the same guy who gave me the rally wheels, thank you Steve. Next was a new rear chrome bumper off of eBay. Oh and the tailgate I got at the local A&W swap meet for $10, actually I got two for $20 and both were driver quality.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Next I did the GMCPauls idiot light to gauge upgrade and I must say it was quite easy to do. The cluster I got from board member otsenre. It was in great original shape and the needles weren't even faded. I also had my mom paint the license plates since they were dated as well. Eventually I'll have Rene's wife (C/10 King) repaint them so the colors are spot on.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

I don't have any pics but I added another 5/8" block to the rear end and installed a pair of CPP 5" rear drop springs. Here are some pics of Mark G and I getting ready to leave my house and head to the local A&W
