So, any difficulties installing that serpentine belt system?

Fasteners incorrect, stuff like that?

Oh, welcome and sharp ride.
Interesting color combination on the motor.

Very nice! And welcome aboard! Not only are there a lot of Texans on this site, there are a lot of people who have a great deal of expertise in the '68 model year. Have fun on those great top-down days!
