Wow Don! Great job! I did not get to give this car as good of a look over as I wanted to at Vette Fest.

You mentioned Fencl Tufo in Oak Park. Brigance was the one in Oak Park and Fencl Tufo was in Glendale Heights. Which one was it? Also where were you from in the city and where did this car sit the whole time? Was it in the city also?

Beautiful car, Don Love how you kept it 'period correct'. How cool was that to be able to get a 4.88 from the factory

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. This car really is a blast to drive. It was a tough call not to go to the next level and repaint it when the car was so far apart. I bought this car to retain my childhood memories and with a repaint it would be like any other 68 Chevelle. Now every time I look at it I feel like a little kid riding a bicycle. Call it a mid life crisis or something like that......

beautiful job!! I too grew up around that time and remember seeing all kinds of cars like that cruising around the Philly area... One that was simular to that was a 66 SS 396 in marina blue with a tunnel ram(natch) with the name on the back.. "Moody B1ues"... great memories..
