The car has been in the shop for the past several weeks now

1. Needed a new clutch put in.

2. Had them install the new gas tank since it needed the filler neck swapped to the new one

3. Now rear end is being swapped out since it had the wrong gears it had 256 and a open diff and we are having a 356 posi put in but come to find the rear end housing isn't correct its a canadian made housing and won't take the new diff correctly. The shop found a used rear end housing and possibly good components from a Chevelle. year unknown. They are going to check to see if the internals are what we need.

I took the oppurtunity to take some good pics under the car.

I found some areas that will need some TLC but overall not bad shape for a car form the 60s

Though I am afraid of what I'll find when I strip the front fenders down

its a 68 we have had it since 2000 its my moms but I get to inherit it so I'm also putting some money in it here and there

I thought all big block A bodies had 12 bolts in em? Why not upgrade and ditch the 10 bolt....

That car will be a lot nicer to drive when the highway gears and peg leg are gone. I bet it will leave a helluva single track black mark though.

The goat is pretty rust free, especially for being in the rust belt.

I am officially jealous of you....that is beautiful
