... I stopped posting updates on my progress thread because most people on here are purists.
Don't stop Robert! I love your postings. We all learn a lot from what you are doing.
My first car I did all sorts of things that were not stock and that's fine, I was 18 and the car was my 1st project and it was not num matching and only a 350 2brl /w 2sp power glide.
The car I have now deserves the best because I believe it is a rare bird. My days of fast driving are over so just tinkering on the car over the next few years is what I hope to do.
I am, however, adding as much "stock" original (some NOS) options as possible, over and above the PHS has documented for the car. I will keep all the old parts and will not do anything that cannot be undone easily.
When I'm done I think it will be one of the most optioned out 68 ("Stock").
