Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Those gauges are nice! I've got a set in blue for my GTO. Too lazy to start rewiring the car right now though so I don't have them installed yet.

Red (or any color) with white and full trim looks great.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
White grill would look great. Gives just enough of the classic look without being too much. Body color roof keeps it modern and 'sporty'. <--- my .02
Keep up the good work!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I have asked before, just cant remember. Sanderson or Headman headers? Mind sharing the part number? I'm going to change to a mid length header on mine, the Flowtechs hang a little lower than my truck will handle.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Speedway white is what I'm putting on my grille.. awesome color. Sort of a vanilla ice cream color. Not pure white.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Today I got the Porterbuilt hood hinge plates welded to the bottom of the hood. Forgot to snap a picture before I put the hood back on so I crawled in the fender well to take a pic
