I'm unsure if I'll mix in the bumble-bee stripe or not... I'll have to mess around with PaintShop first to see how it looks.

I'm picking up my stinger hood on Saturday from Rick's First Gen... they have the one from that guy in NC that everybody recommended. They said that they just got new ones in and they are even higher quality then before.

That Motion car was a very cool looking car----How far along are you with your Motion project?

Looks like that 68 is an original big block car from the pictures. You can see the big block heater box. Gotta love those huge tires sticking out.

Yeah the Mallory coil is right above the box--And this car is using the Mallory CD ignition box---

Boy I hope I am not seeing what I think I see? Looks like the old '66 Nova rearend with bolts holding the lower plates to clamp the leaf springs without a U-Bolt over the axle!

I remember a guy here that will never walk without pain because he hit 3rd gear in his 2 month old 350hp '66 Nova and the rear end twisted completely out of the wields at almost 100mph. Totaled him and the car. Chev even went back and redid all the cars they sold with a recall and retro fitted them with a Ubolt over the axle. Very dangerious without them.

I had the same problem with the first ladder bars that were first installed on my car,they were welded to the axle,--snapped the ears connected to the axle--they came out with bolt over ladder bars later, but it was decided to go with ET bars with steel bushings---

Here's a photo of the early NMW bars used--

Right now it has a small block. In September I will upgrade to a period correct 454 and a period incorrect Gear Vendor overdrive (most people won't be able to see that anyway).
