Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
NO! but it was talked about. smooth firewall, new ac, 700r4, and factory buckets and console. color change too. red/orange and white or omaha orange and white. i was born in 70 so it may get my 70 nos grill. it was made 8/70 and there is no bump for the rear view so i think it will be ok.

That is gorgeous! Your steering wheel guy did the plastic? Just the finger grips or the three center bars too? That is awesome!

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
i cut down a stock wheel and sent it out. he bondos in and shapes it perfect. paints and polishes it. then makes a rubber mold from that. out of the mold and everything gets broke off the wheel down to the bare steel frame work. steel goes in mold and a new wheel is cast. lot of work.
