Opinion's on my 68 fastback

Hey guys, I'm new to the form. I'm about to get my car back after being at the body shop for 3 years. I was hoping that I can get some opinions on my progress and tell me some likes and/or dislikes. Once it gets back, I have a 9" rear with 4.11 gears, full air ride, and electric fans going in. Right now it has a completely rebuilt 351W, Paxton novi 1200 supercharger. Tremec 3550 5 speed tranny. Its an s code with factory air, power steering, power brakes, and 9" rear butbof course when i bought it, all the goodies were gone. Thanks all!

Lol he's a one man shop that is giving me a smoking deal. Whenever easy small, or insurance jobs come in, he knocks those out first. I can't even tell you how many times I've been frustrated because it hadn't been touched in forever. I'm just glad the long wait is paying off.

Very nice. Good things come to those who wait. Like the black stripes on black.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the positive responses. One thing I'm really stuck on is what to do with the wheels. Polished,charcoal gray, or satin black to match the strips. Stay with the 17s or go with a set 20s out back and 18s up front?

Thanks! It's finally starting to get there. I'm chomping at the bit to get her back. He's finally got the front fenders on.

I say stick with the rims you've got (on the back - not the vintage T-thrusts). The polished look pops against the black paint. My two cents...

Aw man you had me nervous when I started to read your comment lol thanks I really appreciate it. It sure hasn't been easy to be so patient. Especially since I'm seeing it get so close lol
