    Great looking car, and interesting options! My 68 SF is an original TX car that also came without AC. Not sure what they were thinking back then, but it makes the engine bay nice an clean. I'm getting my engine back in the car now, and I appreciate the nearly untouched engine bay you've got...

    Great to see some real progress - I’ll use this as pressure to make some progress on mine as well. Still no engine built, I just want to get her on the road again. Congrats!

    Chassis Dimensions for 68 Fury?

    Thanks, guys, Over the next few days, I'll see about checking the diagonal dimension from the outriggers to the front center hole as shown on the diagram above. The FSM checking points are a little different, but should help confirm that things are in or out of square. I've also clamped a...

    Chassis Dimensions for 68 Fury?

    Looking for chassis repair dimensions, so hopefully "restoration" is the right area for this post. I have a question for folks with frame repair experience. At some point in the past, my car met something pretty sturdy and the passenger fender & hood were replaced. The front frame horns were...

    If you can look past the ugly, the starter shield is mounted here: Engine_and_Transmission_Details by clair_davis, on Flickr Not sure about the starter, but I think I was the first person to separate the engine from the trans on my car... Hate to hear that about Calvert. I didn't get a good...

    That's a beauty! I like the optional equipment and the 4-speed is icing on the cake. I hope you post lots of pics, I need as many references as I can get for restoring mine. The color of yours really shows off the body lines.

    Detailing Engine Mopar Turquoise - Specifically

    Just for another data point, here's the torque converter behind my '68 Sport Fury's HP440: Engine_and_Transmission_Details by clair_davis, on Flickr I don't have a lot of other examples of original engine paint, but I'm not sure that the trans was ever separated from the engine.

    Brake Booster Paint for 1968 Sport Fury, Budd Brakes...

    Thanks, Dave, That's where I'm heading. If they don't spray it, I'm OK with that, I can handle satin black. I can't handle zinc chromate though, so that's good info. I assume they'd know what to do since they're in the business, but I'd rather know before going in and not leave the choice...

    Brake Booster Paint for 1968 Sport Fury, Budd Brakes...

    Hey, Folks... I've got a restoration question. 1968 Sport Fury, power disc brakes (Budd). I'm about to send my brake power booster out to be rebuilt, and I want to confirm the original finish. It looks like it was probably painted black, but I would make sure it wasn't plated or some other...

    Thanks, HWY, I actually bought the lower & upper bearings from Bill Rolik the other day... going to replace them all while I’m in there. Will probably start on that project in the next week or so.
