hi from sydney down under newbie

Hi Chris and welcome to the board. What are you needing to know? If it is a body panel question there isn't a specific "body forum" so you'd post in the general Mopar forum. If it's something else there are different forums for each individual section of the car. Try posting your questions in the correct forum (i.e. engine question in the engines forums, trans. questions in the drivetrain forum, etc).

I just looked at your pics. You sure do have your work cut out for you. Glad it's you and not me, LOL...

BTW: you said it's a 68? It has a 69 trunk lid, 69 trunk trim and 69 tail lights. If it has rectangle marker lights it's a 69. 68's had round marker lights.

hi everyone and thank u for ur welcome its great to see how mopar fever knows no distance
thanks fishy68 u right it is a 69
the plans are to put the 5.7 eagle motor out of one of my 2009 300c (that car is now a 426 supercharged monster lol)
i would like to upgrade the front suspension and disc brakes all round
my subframe is tottally f#%ked i got on to AMD and can get some of the frame and panels i need but they tell me the shock towers are no longer available
b body towers are available could this work on a body frame
looks like i may have to build the chassis from whatever oem parts i can get and make tubular frames if need be

is there a complete upgraded front end i could buy also any option for a rear end

thanks guys its real nice to be able to get some advice as this is new ground for me

chris59 and hnssnv, I make it out to Australia every couple months or so. More specifically, Richmond RAAF Base. I'd love to see your guy's rides when I make it out there.
 
Welcome aboard, yes there are k frame you can get to upgrade all that or you can go hunting for parts at the bone yard from a newer model. The new tube k frame for you might be the way to go they have they have coil over shocks in them and many disk brake kits. Well look through the form there is lots of info here
 
Good Day, Eh? Welcome to FABO. You will no doubt find yourself amazed at all the great info on this site. I seem to spend WAY too much time on here, which makes getting work done at work difficult. Good luck on your build of your Vert.
 
Welcome! There's always someone on here with the right answers. All ya got to do is just ask..

19..
