68 Fastback Restomod project thread

BEAUTIFUL work......let's hear it ASAP!!

It's coming along nicely! The stack injection looks amazing in the bay.

Sex on wheels. Where in PA? I want a ride when done lol

Haven't been on here in a while and just went through this thread... Beautiful build! cant wait to see it all finished up! My father has a 68 acapulco blue fastback, S-Code, 390, 4 speed. It was his first car and is in need of a restoration now, this thread is inspirational!

No problem, I don't think I ever listed it. It's a Comp Cams custom grind hydraulic roller, 253-259, 638-638, 110.

Big boy HR. Great build. When do you plan to have the car back?

Thanks, it'll probably be the end of March. Still waiting on a few parts, and the Custom Forgeline wheels.

The seats for the 68 finally arrived. Not wanting to veer too far from the original factory seats I had custom seats designed by TMI Automotive Interiors. Factory seat vs. "Factoryish" seat.

I'm military so I don't currently live in PA, someday I'll move home. However, I'll rock my PA plates until that day. I'm originally from Mechanicsburg/Carlisle area.

Love this build!! Bring this baby to the Pgh Vintage Grand Prix when you’re back home! I run the American Car Show there and I promise you’d have a great time.

Hopefully I’ll still be around! Whenever you make it ask for Ron George at the American Car Show. Now get back to the garage!

Gauges came in today, and some other miscellaneous shots.

Very nice man!

Very nice man. We have very similar taste, use the same engine builder and I have the same gauges, except I went with the black bezel.

Looking great! keep it up!
