Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:
Why can't life be easy? After getting the funnycar back home I knew I had to re-do the body hinges. The roof of the car was resting on the cage and the front end couldn't come down far enough to latch. I cut the hinge brackets off and re-positioned the body with jacks. I shortened the brackets and welded it back together. I didn't take into account that raising the back of the body would change the pitch enough to cause the blower scoop to hit the Lexan windshield. I guess I'll have to enlarge the hole in the Lexan now.

I'm pretty sure I'll be lowering the chassis yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll get it on stands and cut the rear end loose. I can't go too far before I'll have driveshaft to seat clearance issues.

I did buy a can of that Metal cast red paint to try on the fuel cell. When I get a chance I'll see how it looks. Maybe I'll even start on the shroud & mounts for the electric fans.
