Just wanted to post some pics I took the other night at dusk of the silver car. On the exterior, the only thing left to finish is add the H/O emblems to the sail panels and the 20th Anniversary appliqué to the trunk lower right.
Thanks! The pic from the front came out blurry and I didn't know it until I was in the house and it got dark. I have a (practically) one off of the FE3X hood scoop that can be seen in my sig pic.
The paint scheme is a G body version of the original 1968 H/O paint scheme. In fact, the colors are the original colors, Ebony Black and Peruvian Silver with a white pinstripe surrounding the break from black to silver.
I just noticed that my intermittent right rear marker light is out...

Nice touch, '68 H/Os are my favorite since they are unique.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
I know that I have the '69 H/O plate on the rear, but was there one for the '68 H/O that's different or more correct? When I get it re-registered and a new Fla plate, I'm going to put the commemorative plate on the front. Would be nice to know if it's different.

The original 69 H/O plates looked different than what you got there. They were a heavy paper/cardboard deal in gold and black on white background. Paul Panczuk and Kurt Karch "schemed" together several years ago and had some repros printed up and I was lucky enough to snag one. At some point later on, the type you got became the 69-72 standard-bearer.
Here's a 68 type of plate that would look more at home on your car, I think. The Parts Place sells them.
Forgot to say thanks for the post! Was there an original 1968 H/O commemorative plate issued in 1968 like the original 1969 plate shown in your post?
I don't recall an official one for 1968 off the top of my head. There might have been, but someone more familiar with 68s would have the hot skinny on that.
