I purchased a '68 W-30 about 20 years ago. I did a little body work, got it painted, had a small altercation ( bent the front bumper ). About the same time, my son was in bad accident ( is now a quadraplegic ). He was not driving. Rog II is now going to college ( Information tech & programing ). I parked the car. About a year ago I started to work on it again .
The car was primarily used for drag racing, consequently some things under the hood were changed.
Does anyone know where I could find some pictures , looking down on the engine, routing of wires & hoses , etc.
Also is there anyplace that makes the fabric hose for the air ducts.
Thanks for the help and this is a great web site.

Hi Roger. I hope you found what you were looking for. Kurt has good info above about Wildaboutcars.com. When you get a chance, post some pics of your 68. I have a 68 Convertible, and just got it out for the first time this year (yesterday evening). I couldn't believe it started right up for me after sitting all winter!

Prolly the one that crosses the finish line first is the fastest. Sometimes it's not what the car's capable of; it's who's driving it. Hopefully not the bus driver ....
