I've finally saved up enough money, and I'm about to get my Heat/Vents/A/C working again. I have a '68 Coupe that used to have factory A/C. I still have the dash vents and controls, which I really want to keep, but other than that I'd like to modernize everything else as much as possible...

I'd be almost ashamed to put pics up yet, not to mention I haven't bought the car yet! Besides, you guys know full well what a multi-colored 1968 Coupe looks like ......but I'm really glad to have the support one can get on this site! Thanks again!

Thank you guys very much for all the info. I'm finding out tons of information from this site and a few others. It's looking like it would possibly be worth it to just keep it a 6 and fix up back to stock "new" condition, rather than go through all the work to change it over to 5 lugs. It's...

There is a '68 Coupe for sale for $1500. The body is in pretty decent shape, other than being various colors. There are a few rust spots that would need to be fixed, but nothing major. A little work and a nice paint job and it would look great. It also has the old factory bench seat with...

This car looks great! I would like to know more about that hood. Did you cut out under the scoop? It sure gives the car a sinister look. I'd say no on the rocker trim (though I just replaced mine on my '68 coupe!) because it gives you the "blacked-out" look. Maybe it would look cool with...

Same here. I got the new bezel, etc. from NPD also. I suppose you could try to repaint the black, but I don't know how you could ever fix the "chrome" part of the plastic. NPD is pretty good to deal with, their prices are about the same or better than everyone else, and their shipping is...

Sweet! From that picture, it may only need to be washed and waxed and you're almost done! And maybe some new kick-a** wheels..... What a great starting point, eh?

$350?!?!?!? That's another one of those things I'd like to do that costs a lot.....Maybe I'll have the car looking like it's brand new by the time it's 80 years old!

And Louie, the lovable.....

Here's my Loki, God of mischief....

My dash has a new pad, and all the plastic is new (the trim and instrument bezel) All the metal, and steering column parts I just sanded and painted. I can't find reproductions of the A/C vents at all, so I just tried to clean up the original ones as best as I could. The seats and carpet are...

Thanks for the compliment! I still have a lot to do, and lots of things I'd like to do, but nothing is free, is it?!? It's about to get a new headliner and vinyl top (a few bubbled up spots under the vinyl top.....AAARGHH!!!) and a brand new windshield. (How do you let your wipers get so bad...

It is the Retro Gauge Mini-Tach from Australia, and it is just too cool. THey have a 6k and 8k version, and the 6k might have been better for me, but I love it anyway!

I just realized how big those pics came up..... Sorry about that!!!

Thanks for the info!

So, now that it's 90 something degrees everyday, I'm thinking about getting a kit from Classic Auto Air to get my A/C going. My '68 coupe had factory A/C, but that's long gone. I do still have all the ducts and controls and chrome vents in the dash though, and I have read that Classic Auto...

Thanks, ya'll, for the ideas and replies. We have one these pretty nice day spas about a mile from home. I'll have to check into that. Although the old Mustang might be more fun, that's financially out of the question! ....I wish it wasn't!

She's having a birthday in 3 weeks and I have no idea what to get her! She'll be 35 (although she's claiming 31....!) she likes photography but she has a bunch of cameras, etc already. She likes clothes and shoes a lot..... I need help.... Suggestions? Thanks!

OK, but who is Doug Elliot and how do I call him? Does he have an old car business, or a shop or something? Thanks Chris
