Re: 68 project

The crossmember seems to be well but I have not added my rear shocks yet. Spring would be fine with me but there is still yet quite a bit of work, all the body has to come back off, probably end of next week I will start taking it back down to get it ready to paint.

Re: 68 project
Ride on over one day and check it out I am close to taking it back apart to finish up the motor build and the transmission I am probably going to be going with a 200r4 or 700r4. Also about to start prepping to paint everything and then reassembly
