Picked my '68 up and am pushing for an early January debut. I know hugger-orange wasn't a '68 color, I've just always loved it. 496 with a Tremec TKO 5-spd and 12-bolt with 4.10 gears. Brakes are from a donor '02 Trans Am on front and back.

Going old-school with a pair of Holley's on top of a low-rise Offenhauser I've had a few decades. Should be fun.

Oh...such a sweet ride. Cannot wait to hear that beast run!

special place in my heart for the 68! Nice pick up and can't wait to see it come along. Post the build thread too!

Pushrods were finally deliver unharmed last week(Fedex lost them once, had the package open enroute the second time), so the motor should be going in this weekend.

Been a little busy swapping once 12-bolt from a '69 over into it(now 4.10 gears, Moser C-clip eliminator and axles, and the lift bars from Jegs).

That sure looks like a nice set-up. Keep taking photos and us updated.
