New here and figured I would post some pics of my 68 project. In the pictures we had just finsihed about three coats of high build and getting ready to start blocking. I have installed 80% quarters with outer wheel housings, one nos fender, one new fender and one nos inner fender. Hood, deck lid, and doors are orginal. Car has a big block, four speed, and 12 bolt rearend. This project has been going now for about two years and I hope to have it painted by spring :D

Thanks! Lemans blue with white stripe and blacked out tail pan. As you can probably tell by the way we have it masked off it has a vinyl top.(black)

White stripes are a definite must on the LeMans blue, I also like the idea of the blacked out tail panel too, should look real sweet with that color combo!
