High School Building a 68 "Super Bee" Turbine Bronze.

[SpartanGarage]

Here is the start of the High School Auto Technology Club building this years raffle car a 1968 Dodge Coronet "Super Bee". I am the instructor of this class. I just took over this year. Last Year they built a 1969 Mach 1 Mustang. And here is how we got it.

This brings us just about where we are at. Trunk weather stripping installed. We now wait for parts and such!

Anyone have experience with Dakota digital? Students are having fun figuring this out!

Currently have:
Dakota Digital Dash
Pirate Jack Front disc conversion manual brake
Legendary for interior
Classic industries/AMD/Dante's/MRMopart/rockauto/JEGS/Pypes exhaust/TTI headers

Engine 440 will be ready in 2 weeks.
Transmission being rebuilt in class starting Thursday.
Need to investigate the 8 3/4 rear end seems like its missing internal parts.
Waiting on fuel tank/fuel lines/sending unit/roof bows

Have a 69 Column but Would love to find a 68 black column. Dash pieces like glove box door/vent foam and the foam where the key goes would be neat to find. I'm probably leaving a ton out but We are now playing the waiting game and organizing parts we have here for install.

Is the reverse wiring different?

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Not sure,I'm installing a 65 column in my 63. Had to keep the original wires and switch them over.

Some lettering, got the hood on. Hood insulator and gasket in. Marker lights installed. Making some progress. Waiting ordered parts really.

 

[SpartanGarage]

[HEMI-ITIS]

What rear diff are you using?

 

[Don Frelier]

[SpartanGarage]

What rear diff are you using?

8 3/4 is what I have as a housing.

 

[SpartanGarage]

I'm purchasing a sure grip assembly to bolt into my housing but will need axles maybe. The gentleman i'm buying the suregrip from may have axles. Not sure yet.
