68 Chevy p/u conversion project
I did a search but came up empty handed. I just backed a 1998 camaro ss 6 speed I bought Friday with 21,802 miles up my driveway that was in an accident. Still runs perfect but the frame is tweaked. I have been tossing around the idea of transforming my 68 p/u into a modern sleeper and finally decided to make the plunge. My question now is this.......have any of you folks done this type of conversion. Since I have the entire car, I would like to change out the complete drivetrain, braking system, stereo system, steering column, pedal assembly, fuel system, etc. I know it's going to be a BIG project but maybe some of you that have done similar jobs can inform me what precautions to take so I am spared some un-necessary headaches. Thanks in advance for any help you can render. I'm pretty excited about making it happen.
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
