68 coronet hemi swap in Az

[penski61]

Made up a fan shroud , didn’t want to pay $200+ for just a shroud . $50 in materials so far just need to get material for the flaps

nothing on the motor yet but possible buyers for the trans and hooker exhaust

Just need to get the flaps , both fans are rated for 2000cfm

Car back from getting blasted, epoxy primed and under carriage painted semi gloss black . Just need to find a body shop n Az to finish up the body and paint . Only major issue is deck filler panel

The driver side corner piece was out of stock and didn’t want to pay for the 4 piece kit so I tried my hand at making my own and repairing . Came out ok just have a few more patches

Nice front axle setup! I’ve never seen that roller setup before.

everyone seems to baffled by it lol , axle was free so just used box tubing and mounted it to stock k member spots in the frame , its a lot easier and safer for me to move the car around by myself getting on and off the trailer when needed vs casters . just put dollies under tires to turn it or floor jack

wondering where you got it blasted and primed. also if you were happy with the work and the cost if you don't mind.
I am in Payson and looking to do the same thing. If we are not allowed to post that info, please PM me.
thanks

Current state of my 68 , after blasting and repairing rear window frame took it to body shop then put fenders , deck lid and doors back on . had to repair the rear of front fender since I found previous owner put in front fender dog leg patch in wrong so I had to grind out the welds and flip it so lip was behind fender .They are going to start on body work soon (hopefully)so I have a bit before it comes to paint but can’t decide on qq1 , b5 or silver

 

[penski61]

some progress , trying to figure out what color . original was qq1 but also like ll1 and this light blue minus the gray strip

What will you do for driveshaft hoops?

probably just bend some 1/4" plate and bolt it up to the rear bolts for front seat re enforcement plate i made

 

[penski61]

motor and trans bolted up for test fit of starter /header clearance

 

[penski61]

Headers back from being coated , can’t wait to get my 68 back . We finally decided on color , the new b5 blue pearl on the Chargers and challengers . Should come out really nice
