Joseph!!
Don't get nervous you have done your homework and I'm sure you will remember everything. If you check the archives I believe there are a couple of web sites that are attached. I think I have a copy also.I'll check. Hey did you get your w.m.? I do rememer a little trick. Tie a piece of string around the shifter handle ( approx. 5ft) so when you lower your body and you need to move the shifter araound, it will give you something to pull on. Rather then crawling underdeath. MF

Hi Joe,
I'll mention a couple of items that are easier to put on with the body 'up'.
The tunnel insulation above the transmission, the U bracket in the tunnel for the inner seat belt mounts (I THINK 68s have that), the gas tank filler-neck collar and drain hose (if the tank is installed on the chassis), all the mounts, plates and clips (including engine compartment) that are riveted to the underbody, cowl and inner fenders. Make sure you put the vacuum supply tank in the drivers side fender-well before you mount the master cylinder.
I took a very close look at the underbody for holes that would have a screw or rivet in them and decided if now was the easiest time to install that item.
I hope this helps you catch one thing you might have forgotten.
Regards,
Alan
