Any info on this '68 from the GoodGuys Duel in the Desert 2015 Album
 

Does anyone know anything about this '68? Normally i keep track of most of the 1st gen builds on the forums, but i don't recall seeing this one before. I really like how it's done.

I was wondering the same thing .... that's a nice 68 fer sure!!!

Aarik Gault from Indiana. He proposed to his girlfriend at the autocross there on Friday!
They were also a Muscle Machine of the Year contender

Bret,
Any more details on his build? Found a video stating he's using ridetech HQs. Full level 2 with a stock sub? Wheels/Tires?

I don't think Aarik is on the forum.
Jakes Rod Shop sub frame and torque arm suspension. 275/315 combo. Running the RideTech TQ coilovers.

I would like to find out the paint color. I really like the looks of this car. Nice job.

Thanks Bret and Dan for filling them in, got a text from another member saying this thread was here. Not on here a ton but appreciate the compliments. I will try and look for the paint code tonight, I am going to make some changes this winter and will have to re-paint the car. I bought the car as a stock painted roller and added all the suspension and other parts. Feel free to ask any questions.

what wheels and tires? sizes?

And i'm also interested in the paint code. The color combo looks great.

The paint code is a Honda color, still need to get the code. I'll post it once I get it. Wheels are KWC forged 3 piece in 18x10 and 18x11.5. The wheel company was recently bought out and will be changing their lineup in 2016. 275/315 Falken tires. Changing wheels this winter and going 315 front and rear.

Great!!! Thank you for looking up the paint code. By the way do you have any high resolution pics of your car that you could post. This is one of the best 68's I've seen.

I would guess silverstone metallic from a Honda S2000. NH-630M

Dang. I get busy for a few days and see that someone already has the paint code figured out! Good eye John that is the paint code.

I have quite a few pictures from events this year, send me an email address and I will send you what I've got.

I sent you a private message with my email address. Thx

Aarik, don't bogart those pictures...post them up right here. I'd love to see them, as well as many others around here. :snapout:

Interesting - you are in Westport........ I'm in Batesville. Nice to know of another car guy in the area. We should link up some time

Good one Scott,
I will add some more pictures here this weekend when I'm home from PRI. Not that Im holding out at all, I will share any pictures I have if someone wants to see something. Huge learning process in year 1 that's for sure.

Someone asked me at a Goodguys show if I knew you, I also had no idea someone in Batesville was building a car like yours. Great looking project, you've made a ton of progress and make me jealous with the Chevy II. Really want one of those someday. We will for sure have to meet up.

Hey Aarik :hello:

Great to see you out driving the car with success ... and showing up here! :military:

Thanks Ron, time for you to get that 68 done and come out and play.

Here are a few more pictures that some of you asked for, my better half that Bret mentioned earlier is driving in the second one. She has developed an addiction for autocross and I am building her a truck for next year. Had lots of fun and met a bunch of great people this past summer.

Thanks! Just saved all of those.

Great pictures aarik! That's a great looking car!

Great looking car!

Just curious on your side markers . Are they just painted over or powder coated? I don't recognize your side mirrors and I just saw a similar chin splitter on a green 67 on Speedhunters. Is there someone selling these or are people making their own?

Thanks ,

Lenny

The side markers are stock, just powder coated matte black, Stock mirrors too just black. I bought the spoiler from Jake's Rod Shop. May have an option for those and a lot of other parts soon. Hoping to get my rocker extensions installed too. They will go really well with the spoilers.

Hi, I see you have what appear to be stock inner frender's. I have seen Larry Woo's 68 and his custom inner fender's to fit his 315's. What are you doing to fit 315's under your car?
I have a 275 rival under my 67 but the inner fender needed some significant fab work. I would love to do a 315 up front and have it all squared up.
Thanks and nice car.

Would you mind posting your fuel injection setup? Good chance i will go with an LS on a truck project, but i want to use a 4bbl throttle body, and holley dominator setup.

Thanks, Austin

My inner fenders are stock as of now, I will have to roll the fender lips and raise the outer edge of the stock inner fender. It makes a big difference having an aftermarket frame. I have had a set bolted on and it won't require much extra clearance. I'll post some pics once I get them on. Thanks!

I have the single plane Holley intake with the Holley 4 barrel 1000cfm throttle body, stock LS3 injectors and Holley HP EFI to run it. Only thing you have to do is re-wire the IAC pins in the harness. Use the harness for 24x or 58x and switch 2 pins.

Looks good Airik! Just got a set of Forgeline's ordered for your old project..

Awesome! How do you like the HP? If you did it over, would you have gone with the Dominator computer?

I really like the hp setup, I would still buy the same again. If I wanted drive by wire I would have went with the dominator. Wouldn't work in my case obviously. I'm sure some motors benefit but I doubt most people would notice with the extra 02 sensor

Thanks, hope my old car is about finished. Send me some pics!
