My 1968 442 project car from high school

Good morning all, First I must say...This site has been awesome to say the least. I have been meaning to share some pictures of my car with everyone. It is far from done and it does not look as nice as most on here but one day it will. Baby steps, at least it is back on the road after all these years.

Welcome to CO, Rrupp442! Really nice lookin' '68! Of course, I am somewhat partial, for some reason! LOL! Good luck on your restoration; my best advice would be to take your time, and take those baby steps. You will have fantastic end results! Good luck!

Colorado?

Hey Rupp442!
Welcome! Looks like your 442 is an original Colorado car? Are you still here? I see what looks like Pioneer plates on the car in the driveway and 99.5 The Mountain on your radio! Love the 68's!

It was a struggle to keep it in storage for 25 years but I'm really glad that I did! Because now that the kids are older I have time for it. I know now that I would have regretted it.
