Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
After five+ long years, it is done (for now). There will always be something to tweak. 1968 frame-off (yes, my wife had a COW when she found out what that meant) 350/350, Vintage Air, stainless exhaust, Hedman headers, electric fan. Waiting for the opportunity to road trip and enjoy the drive. Hope to make midwest May meet. Thanks to everyone for their input and answers to question.

Let your wife drive it on the next nice day. You may end up building one for her.
