This is my 1968 beauty.. Recently I got her dual flowmasters.. That 289 sounds sweet. I'm also restoring a '65 convertible.
This is what I've done.
1.) New gas tank
2.) New fuel sending unit.
3.) New tires
4.) New water pump
5.) New fuel pump.
6.) New Starter.
7.) New carpet
8.) New steering wheel
9.) Brakes Adjusted
10.) New trim around dash board.
11.) Rebuilt Carberator.
12.) Dual Flow master.
13.) Replaced drivers side floor pan, and both rear pans.
(There was a small rusted through spot on the drivers side.
When I took out the carpet I noticed that the rears were thin so I replaced them)
Put Sealant, and Por 15 with pictures of all including cut out pieces. See page two for floor pan replacements info.

Not a show car. The paint job looks nice from 15 feet.
The car appears to have had the left rear fender partially replaced. The underside does not have Rust, The Rocker panels do not have rust. The 289 runs like a champ. The front end feels a little loose and probably could use new ball joints and steering kits.
