I'll probably take it down to the frame and fix/replace any rust I find. Interior needs some work so thats on the list. Wanting to paint it a hot rod flat black. Not sure on engine, would like to go with a 383 stroker, but depends on funds when I get to that point lol.

Re: My new 68 SWB Project

The carb needs adjusting and needs some brake work. It runs but needs a little work before calling it driveable.
