Me keepum 68
Some of you may remember me speaking about getting rid of the 68. Well it has been parked for a while with a good part of the inside tore out as I am going to redo and upgrade some widgets and gadgets. While walking around out by my shop in the early morning scattered light, sipping my coffee. It dawned on me. I miss driving my 68. So I realize what I needed was to not have it available to drive for a while to make me once again appreciate it.

Thats good to hear your not selling him, I never got to drive my truck (engine was shot when I bought it then jumped right into tearing it down) I can only imagine the first time I hear that 390 fire up, let alone the first shake down around my block. I cant wait.

I like the sound of the Thrush I put behind my 390. I am thinking about 2.5" exh. It is now stock size.

Re: Me keepum 68
So the description of the 68 with the dappled light sounded good. Got any pics of the 68? We can have a look-see and give you lots of advice

Glad to hear you are back into fixing it up.
That is funny you mentioned what you call the '68, I was driving to work today and I realized I have been calling my truck him.
I normally call all cars, airplanes, vessels etc.. girl.
But not this truck, it truly is a Mancar
