Beginning my 68 super bee restoration

Actually Ed, when I bought mine ; there were 6 sitting in a row by the garage. One was blue with no stripes, just the circle & Bee.(all 6 were gone in a month!)
Thanks. I wasn't actually aware the stripe delete option was available for the half-year run of 68's.
 
Got the shifter I have on and adjusted. It works ok. I did some investigating and it's a hurst super shifter for muncie and t10. It has the numbers 8779 stamped on the front of the body. I'm assuming this isn't going to work for a 68 superbee no console and and bench seat. Anyone familiar with this particular setup? Thanks

I have the install/adjust instructions for my Hurst shifter on Fred's 18-spline if you think it would be of any
use. Gotta figure out how to send a PDF file on this forum, though:

I'll be happy to forward the PDF file of the instructions if you like?

Dan Brewer sent me some mock-up pics he made for me a while back as well to help with rod orientation
and such:

I can definitely tell by your pictures that my shifter rods are all different. I looked at a new version of my shifter and it's definitely a muncie setup that I have. I guess I will be buying a new shifter from Brewer's. It's ok though as I like the pistol grip and what better excuse to get one.I knows it's not correct for 68 but I like it.

Oh, I should have mentioned that the rods in Dan's pics were actually some he made himself, as opposed to
actual Hurst shifter ones - but the point of the pics was the same, namely helping me to orient my own shifter
on my car since I was putting the car back together without aid of any diagrams or what have you.
 
I haven't updated in a long time. I actually forgot about my build thread...
So here it is,
Last winter I completely refurbished the clutch and brake pedal assembly.
I finally got the drivers rocker panel put on and primed for now.
I am currently digging into the left inner fender apron, upper fender mount and ultimately the frame rail. I have to move the rail back just a bit. The previous owner had replaced the rail but didn't weld it to the crossmember properly. I figured all this out trying to fit the fender and it was about 1/4 out .

Jeez, completely forgot about your beginning posts. Hey, I’m old! Awesome work, I will tell you the last restoration book I had showed a chrome knob for seat adjuster for bench seats. Wrong, my original had a black knob. You are waay past what I had to do, keep up the great work.

Your car is beautiful I hope mine looks that good when I finish. My car actually has the chrome "T" knob on my bench seat. I need to find one because I only have one good one .
