68 Barracuda Fastback build
Some of the recent work done :
Powdercoated the new pedals assembly, heater core, interior rear panels.
Cleaned up the basement as more stuff will arrive soon.
Engine, bellhousing and timing cover painted in Hemi Orange. Engine has been cleaned up and bore at 3.94", decked, honed and everything. the crankshaft is at Crankshaft Craftsmen for balancing.
Both heads have been cleaned, and I painted them matt black to be clean. porting the heads is coming up next.
Doctor Diff PowrLok diff to fit in the 489 housing and with the Richmond 3.91 gear i bought at a swap meet.
Rear 8.75" axle and housing, fully repainted to be clean.
Rear window is out, as well as all the clips, and the fuel tank and fuel lines.
Wheels are done.
I'm flying to Europe in 3 weeks, the goal is to put the engine back together (I have to clean up and maybe rebuild my oil pump, and get a new water pump). I need to finish porting the heads, get a cam timing tool to put it back together properly, clean the oil pan and powdercoat it, clean the headers and put some high temp ceramic coating on it too.
Bodywork is slowly moving forward as I must have the car outside of the garage when i work on it and with the rain lately, I can't progress as fast as I'd like...
The goal remains to drive the car to our Design Car Show at Ford on my birthday on August 25th.
Also on the way : new brake lines, Painless wiring harness, bearings for the diff, and a couple other small things.
