    1968 curious- stock or modified

    Nate it is your car make it what you want. I would not make changes that could not be changed back. Save all of the original parts. That way latter you or someone else could restore it back to original. Just my 2 cents Marty

    I remember when I was a kid on a trip to the city we were waiting for a light and a car passing by lost the front u joint. The drive shaft caught on the pavement and knocked the whole rear axel out of the car. My brother and I thought it was realy cool!

    1968 Underside Scratch

    It looks like is is too far forward for a u joint failer. Out here in farm country one can find a piece of wire on the road that can get waped up on the drive shaft. It makes a lot of noise. Marty

These marks were made with a wax pen so when the media hit it smeared a bit. I think it was a # 9 and a 51 in a circle. 51...
