I also picked up a 68 front clip from a forum member. Happy to have found what seems to be very solid panels.

This is a great idea running the exhaust piping through the rear of the engine!

The gas tank fits very good with minimal trimming. And I found this exhaust idea from popular turbo kits used on silverados. After I started working on the exhaust facing forward I started getting worried about space and under the hood heat. This way simplified everything a lot for me.
