Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
This is probably the best way to do it. I know some guys need a deadline for motivation, so it would work for them, but you might be like me. I don't need the added pressure to rush through it and cut corners to have an end result that will produce regrets for not doing a better job before paint. I'm sure you'll be happier with the end result knowing you did the best you can, without rushing it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Hey Keith, love the progress. You will get it done all in good timing, rushing things always ends up messing something up anyways. I was curious about your paint scheme as I am going with red on mine as well. On the front end are you going to run trim across the front of the hood and on the front of the fenders, if not, where are you going to stop/start with the white red? I have already welded up the trim holes on my 68 fenders. Just wondering what your plans are.

![]() If I can fit the 4l80e then I'll definitely go with that, if not then it will probably get a built 4l70e and hope to god I don't grenade it. I'm not interested in cutting the cab up at this point to fit it. Your not going to have to try to hard to catch me, I have been spinning my wheels with bodywork for the past 2 know months. Thanks, now just need to figure out what can I want to run ![]()

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Little fyi also. Friend of mine had a very clean LQ4 with 220K miles and it still had crosshatches in the cylinders and it was never rebuilt. So if its been taken care of, 90K miles ain't nothing.
