Also just ordered my exhaust, got the 2.5" street rod builders kit from speedway motors and 2 Spintech super pro street mufflers. Should sound pretty nice.

Yesterday I got my newly painted trailing arms in. Thanks to Hart_Rod for the rust free arms. We welded up the seem on the top and stich welded the bottoms to keep them from flexing also installed new energy suspension bushings.

Got my exhaust run too, i'm running side exhaust, i know if you look in the pictures it seems like there is not alot of room where i ran the exhaust under the frame by the coil springs but i checked first by taking the springs out and let the trailing arms come all the way up until the rear bottomed on the bump stops in my c-notch. I still had plenty of room for the exhaust pipe. So we moved on with the install.

Yeah if your color was a factory color in 1972 then i'm pretty sure it would be 516 which is the same code for Orange in 1968. I think Hugger or Red/Orange is 524.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Ive got everything for the box, just need to take a day out and get the box sides finished up. may do that this afternoon. its funny but being your own boss is even worse when it comes to your own projects. you would think you could sneak a day here and there, but the guilt gets me. sucks
