Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

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.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

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.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

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.

Have to take it back out and finish welding it up and then paint it with some por-15 1400 degree exhaust paint.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

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.

I hear you, i'm not my own boss but due to my work schedule I only get to work on my truck on saturdays. This is why it is taking me so long to build it. That and the availability of funds lol.
