On the way home from work yesterday, I saw one in a guys drive way close to my house. It looks like he's working on it. I'll stop by and get some pics. Hopefully he won't think I'm a dork. Lol. Cool cars!

Valve covers are on backwards. The notches go towards the firewall.

Welcome to the forum , I always liked the 68 Hurst. Did you make any small upgrades to the engine ?

Wow I have not been in this thread for some amount of time, I flipped the valve covers as mentioned thank you for pointing that out. No modifications to the engine considering it is a numbers matching car. Number 501. The car was finished on new years 2014. We really haven't touched it much just working out a few kinks here and there. I will post some more pictures next time I get around to the car, it is my ladies father who owns the car he just me and a couple of buddies restore it. If their are any questions feel free to ask. It's not often I go out there to tinker on the car, just mainly spend time with the family. I will post video of it once we take it out this coming summer, she is parked for the winter.
