FINALLY! The truck came today and I received my 68! I drove it back and it was great. :) A few small things I need to address. The hood needs adjusted and such, but it is great. I am very happy with the buy, Rich! I just thought I'd let you all know. Smooth runner. The exhaust is very poppy, was that the way you had it? I got exactly what I expected and that doesn't happen much. :)

BTW, drove it to our family garage... Mom wants it! I was afraid to leave the keys, there. :)

Yeah, the packard was still there, haha. I'm pretty sure the guy wanted to destroy it, lol. He had some beautiful cars on there.

I drove it about 6 miles through Anderson back and another 10 miles to my home away from college (Mom just moved there). I noticed that the right hand front "triangle" window (vent window?) has a space between the seal and the frame and I didn't want it to get rained on.

I think most of the popping is a mild timing thing. I'll get it squared away. :) Email will sent back soon.
