Nevada Blue 1968 dart GT

Cool car! Which "B" series blue is Nevada?
 
You know what haven’t even decoded the tag yet to check the actual blue color:BangHead:. That will be my next day up there. It’s at my shop in Nevada and there a common 3/4 crush Ground Rock called Nevada Blue I used on the property. So it seemed fitting. I do need to find out the color though. Thanks for the reminder. :thumbsup:
 
Got the trans matted with 318 and paint is a dark blue. Also got the fender tag if someone wouldn’t mine decoding the rest. Thanks

Motor looks great! Exterior color will be spectacular as well. Do you have a time frame for paint?
 
Do not I’m at this point just want to get the car drivable. I will do a full resto with a 340 4speed but all to look close to factory. But since I pulled motor I just like to go over board. I up graded suspension to get a feel on handling. But she is coming out nice . I just purchased 2 4 post lifts to stack cars so I can get my cars out of booth so I can finish it to paint my cars.
 
PS I have 3 4 post lifts in this garage. I went smaller with this one, but depending on the size of the cars I have had 8-9 on one side and 2 in my other side. I am thinning the herd so it creates a lot of floor space.
 
Just went through fender tag. Seems special ordered pretty cool.

Ya it is, now that I decoded it should I leave it stock or put 340 4speed? But keep everything? Thoughts

you answered your own question there..... 340 4 speed but keep everything you remove (if you have room). you can always add a 4" stroker kit to the 318 (392 ish) and refit it later for a numbers matching look.
neil.
 
Not much done to car today, was able to ERECT 1 4post and start the 2nd one. What a chore had some help from the wife and son.

I know lots of folks strip off all that side trim, but IMHO it really makes that car, I'd keep it!!!
 
The side trim on mine is growing on me.. if I ever do paint mine, it’ll come off. A paint job is so low on the list of wants at this point though.. who knows if that’ll ever happen. If it does ever happen, I’ll keep it the same LL1 color.
