I've been feeling pretty stressed out lately, its been a few months since I've driven it, and since its finally a nice day here (about 65 deg. even with gazillion m.p.h. winds) I decided to fix a few small things with my 68 and then just took it out for about an hour drive. This always relieves my stress for a while. Kinda gets my mind back on track of whats important to my happiness, and gives me motivation to keep putting up with a lotta crap so that I can have the things that I enjoy.

I live outside a couple of small towns (less than 1k people) on a farm to market road, and there is a backroad route that I drive my 68 on sometimes when I get stressed. I just cruise at my own pace for an hour or so with no radio, just me and my car. All my problems seem to go away. It ALWAYS makes me feel better.

Done? Oh its far from done! Take a look. It still needs paint and body work. $$$$$$$$$ It will get aluminum heads and a cam first though.

Ahh. I can not wait till the weather gets nice here in MI so I can drive mine again.
That is the greatest thing in the world, just cruising down the street with your arm out the window listening to the sound of your car (sometimes the radio)
All my worries and troubles just dissipate...
