Added a new 3.55 posi and buttoned up a few things. It runs fantastic and struggles for traction haha. I put a few hundred miles on it last summer and ran the 1/4 a few times. No traction = 2.24 60' but managed a 13.2 @ 107. Left it in drive and it shifted at ~5500rpm. Good Enough. It sure...

Put on the color, sanded/blended it in some areas and of course along the edge of the original paint on top. Apply the Super bee strip (again) and satin clear. Super happy with how it turned out.

Sand, bondo, sand, prime, sand, rinse, repeat.

Hard to believe how wavy the doors and fenders are from the factory but a block will show the truth. New bushings/pins in the door hinges and some minor window regulator work was needed. MORE rust in the bottom corners of both doors and lower portions of the fenders. Why doesn't AMD make 68...

Drank quite a few beers at lunch one day and did my BEST 'Chrysler employee' slathering of seam sealer in the trunk. Tried to match the paint to the original, it came out pretty good.

Rear seat was original and salvageable for awhile. Front seat was more duct tape than anything. Tore it down, fixed some broken springs and restored. Also new carpet, good used visors and new front doorpads. Interior no longer smells of rodents and is super comfy with that bench.

Unfortunately I have to sell this car due to a move. I'll update this thread since I have actually finished the car last summer. Jan18-April18 was a lot of rust cutting and welding new in. While I had the quarters off I also ended up rebuilding the rear window mechanisms and now they work...

Got some work done over the holidays - glovebox cleanup, brake & fuel lines run, rear brake rebuild, fuel tank in, axle in, brakes bled and engine running in the car!

Ha! Those are the factory brackets that were spared from the rot!

Rails, crossmember and spring hangers welded in now. Pics are now caught up to current day!

Started with cutting out the trunk floor, non-existent frame rails and rear crossmember. I only did one side at a time to keep as much structure as possible (haha) left in it while fitting/welding. So far i'm really happy with how it has turned out - we will see when I put in the rear axle...

Now onto the back of the car which had your typical rusted out B Body trunk/frame/quarters/etc stuff. I think i've ordered every piece AMD makes for a 68 Dodge.

It was a used $20 piece I found at a swap meet - not sure of the brand. It has threaded rod in about 8 places to bolt it to the hood.

winner lol

Working on my 68 Coronet and my dad's 66 Vette this winter. Should be able to get them both done by April!
