Re: My 68 swb build.
It looks really good. Your patience paid off. The nicks in the paint can be fixed easy. Just get it together and have your body guy touch them up.

Re: My 68 swb build.
Looks KILLER Chris...
I sure would like to come see it in person one Sunday afternoon... By the way, do you know the part# for the top radiator hose you are using? That looks like the one I need to run on mine... My build thread is way behind where I am actually at... I'm close to firing mine up soon, too...

Re: My 68 swb build.
Thanks guys. !! I'm hoping to have more done this week. All depends how work goes. I think im gonna finish the Windows in the doors next. The hook still hits the division bar. Gonna try to do it with the door on and just remove the hook so I dont have to realignment. Loli dropped my driveshaft off at napa to have them resize it once again. It should be right this time 56" center to center.

Re: My 68 swb build.
^ ^^ Excellent advice. Talk to the builder. Also use a zinc additive in your oil ESPECIALLY on break in so you won't have a flat cam.

Re: My 68 swb build.
You should do a search on Lucus oil zinc additive then just search for a retailer in your area. HERE
Be careful about running synthetic oil in your engine too unless you have an additive. |

Re: My 68 swb build.
I got Lucas brake in oil from my local carquest which came in a 1 quart bottle then I added Rotella oil which I believe is the only oil with zinc. My engine builder said I should run it about 500 miles then change the oil.

Re: My 68 swb build.
I got my zinc additive from O'Reilly. It comes in a clear bottle and it says ZINC on it in big red letters. The additive is clear. You should use it everytime you change your oil, which adds another ten bucks to your oil change but if it saves the cam it's worth it!
