    1968 Seatbelts - Deluxe or Otherwise

    I tend to agree with Scott - it seems that the Dlx belts with warning light was costed at two different options - convertible option $12 and coupe/fastback (?) option $15. So with that said... My original harness was fried and it claimed the seat belt warning light harness...I have thought I...

    1968 Tips on installing stripes...

    I have seen a lot with the stripes too low on the scoops - looks odd to me. I used the dims on the door and then fit the strips on the scoop to match the door. Since my qtrs were not original, I fiddled with the scoop to make sure that the dim in the book to be close (within 1/8") of where my...

    1968 Tips on installing stripes...

    This was my first time too. Make sure all your doors and fenders are aligned before starting - start with the door, then do the scoop. The scoop will need to be off the car to wrap the decal correctly. The dims in the book are not correct for the fender front section - the body line curves...

    1968 Brake Line leak

    Scott - thanks for your quick reply! I should have been more specific...brake lines are not stainless as far as I can remember (bought them a while ago). D-block is rebuilt already; leaking out of the rear brake line to d-block fitting. Not sure where the leak is from at the fitting (through...

    1968 Brake Line leak

    OK - I am bleeding the brakes and it is taking for ever. I found I was leaking at the distribution block. I have tightened the heck out of the lines and worried I will strip the D-block. Is teflon tape/"liquid" in order here?

    1968 help needed

    +1 - welding sheet metal is not easy and you could end up doing more damage than good in a real hurry. A vocational school will give you all you need to know.

    Thanks Huck! When you get a chance, I have a fence to be painted too! LOL . But really, thanks! I have no way to know what is right and what isn't - no original parts to compare, no cars around here with 302 AC to look at, so I am on an island a lot! So the time you and all the other...

    1968 Brake question

    You got a heck of a deal!!!! I thought the bendix and midlands were both used in 68 - although I am not 100% sure as there is a ton of misinformation out on the web (and auto part stores!). It seems to have the correct spacer plate and with all push rods! Check out the WCCC youtube video on...

    1968 Instrument cluster - wood grain or black?

    Try to get the NOS bezel if you can...I am on my third POS reproduction part and supposedly it is the "best" repro that I just got today. The tooling obviously crashed (probably aluminum to save $) and it is pretty clear that they fixed it, but only substandard, but this is all that is...
