Great story and I hope you are able to do what your dad wanted to do.

I was just wondering something. Why are there no back up lights below the rear bumper? Was someone doing a RS conversion on this car? I also noticed that the front lower valance was a different color.

The sentiment is not lost on me.

I am behind you 100%.

I would love to plan a work weekend some day to help!!

(Keep me in mind, I take crazy car guy trips all the time)

My experience is limited, you won't want to book me for anything shiny.

Ryan

Great car to restore Darrell, and glad to hear it was the one your dad wanted to do after all those years chasing it. Do it right and build a bulletproof 302 with the plenum breather under that hood.

Do you have the 302? I missed out on a '68 4053 DZ carburetor Saturday for $150. I was holding out trying to get it for $125 and another guy bought it while I was working on the seller.

I can give you the name and number of the guy who bought it if you are interested. The base plate has the usual ear broke off and some of the choke parts are missing.

Awesome, Darrell! Good on ya making it a tribute to Dad. Enjoy the build. You know how it goes...frustration and elation rolled up into one Shove it a Down your throat financial mess sandwich! But, it's all fun and as you clean each part your Dad will be right there with you! Looking forward to the build!

Cheers

Dave
