Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

LOL I didn't get much work done to it today cause I was drooling over it all day.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

:lol: i would be the same way. That is a great score on the motor and all that eye candy just stepped it up from a 3 to a soild 10. Everytime I see a great build in the making I wish I had the space and resources to do a complete restro. Your truck is going to be killer when your done. Keep it up...

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you for the kind words, I actually don't have the space right now either. My truck is stored at my Brothers house. He has a nice 3 car garage so he has plenty of space, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be able to do this resto at all. This resto has been one of the hardest and most frusrating things I have ever done. I'm already 2 years into it and have a ways to go.

Thanks Keith, they are Hedman Elites 68618 for a 70 Chevelle 454. They fit perfectly with my 68-71 mounts. Just have to trim the passenger side frame rail about a 1/4" for extra clearance on the tubes. If you look closely in the pics above you can see the blue painters tape where they need a little extra clearance

That's fixable, just rip that 350 out like I did and put a Big block in there :devil: I do love those Big Block Impalas, I have a soft spot for them but I love these C-10's more. Enjoy.
