Kyle,

Well... get in touch with Ethan and learn why I thought it was on it's last legs.

Apparently that's no longer the case?

Anyway. It's not like I'm going to cut the '68. I don't even have a swasall. I'm thinking parts transfer... which would rob your little demon of it's heart & soul but would lend some to 3 hungry Volvos.

No I'm thinking Strombergs, Bald tires on Bertones, and slowly swapping out the suspension with the '70, at least partially. The interior with what I have laying around already. Sounds like what's going to stop it is the cam. Not the end of your 142 by a longshot... Keep it around in place of the '74 in the back-up role. Besides the '70 will probably break something bigger first and it will all end up back on the 68...

Back in December, this '69 sounded like it was on it's death bed 7 years ago, stuggling on only because it was a Volvo.

Best, -Sean
