time to clean it up

 

[68fastback]

The pinecones took me and my four year old more than an hour to clean out. in the side of the doors it was filled all the way up with pinecones that have probably been there for more than 6 years. This is my daughter helping me. The future owner of the car. LOL

Yeah I think I'm going to have to take a day off from the car. I think all the mice crap got to me, Ive been throwing up all night and this morning. I don't know what else it could be, I was fine yesterday and then I cleaned the car out and tore the carpets and seats out to clean it. I will be back at it tomorrow night though.

Probably a combination of mouse crap and mold, you should wear a dust mask. Hope you feel better.

That and the weather just snapped and got real cold and my whole house got sick.

Sorry for the long delay, I am putting a 79 Ford F-250 back together to sell for more cash for the car. The truck isn't going to be expensive but a lot of TLC. I should be back on the car very soon.

Awesome car!! NOTHING cooler than a '68 fastback. We also have the family resto project going. What are your plans for her? Engine, trans, etc.. Did you find the build sheet? Best of luck!

 

[68fastback]

68340fish love your car great start.

My Plan is to make the car 1/2 street 1/2 track. We are trying to go in the 12's. I am putting togeather a 360 stock stroke. 727 with a tf2 shift kit and an 8.75 with 3.91's

That car looks like a great canvass ready for a work of art.

Great score, and what a beautiful child.
I'm sure she's got Daddy's heart wrapped around her little fingers.
