Nice looking setup. Paint looks good particularly the transition from yellow to orange in the flames. What gears are you running? As tuff as it is to find decent 300 Deluxe interior trim panels, you may want to consider puttting standard Malibu panels in your car at least for now. Good luck. Keep us posted on your build progress and your racing exploits.

THANKS sam, its a 4.88 gear,strange spool ,axles, c-clip eliminator. being a racecar, im not too worried about finding 300 deluxe panels, i had bought 68 coupe panels not knowing that they are completely different near the post. someone has to have something somewhere.......ill keep searching.

So does anyone have a clue what the trim means on this one i looked at? 760-A-XZ R-R Car seems to be factory disc brakes and a/c car..

o3c=march,3rd week...4364 = unknown...68 =yr..13427 = 300 deluxe...kan = factory...994xxx = fisher data processing number...760-a = black pattern imitation leather bench seat...and xz i would think that should be y 2 which means butternut yellow, black top.

Well thank u for trying... The Trim is what i call it...States this and just like this
760-A XZ R-R

Which means car was red on top and bottom..I belive.. What i dont know is what the A or XZ stands for?? Or is this info confidential?

according to www.chevellestuff.com, the A is part of interior code (760 A ) which means black imitation leather and the A means bench seat. unless im reading it wrong. and as far as the XZ R-R I dont know. ill ask some more pros on the site.
