Sperg - Justa sugestion here. Pull that front clip/bakes out and use it in the 69 build. It will prob only cost you 50% of the bump in sales price of your 68 and you might save some $$$ in the long run?
1- does the car require a cowl hood that tall, or not?
2- looking at one of the pictures it seems the rear axle isnt sitting in the center of the rear wheel wells, is that an illusion or has the rear axle setup been moved?
