My M-Code Cuda is finally getting worked on

cawley said

It is going to be a sweet barracuda. Like my dad told me, back in the day they were just cars. He said the first day he & my uncle brought there barracudas home the dog dish hub caps went in the scrap. Are your stripes reflective ? Your barracuda looks really good in that color combo. Is that the original color ?

hey cawley...
your uncle is correct about the dog dish hubcaps. my 68 formula s came with those hubcaps and as soon as i got the car (in sept of 69) i pryed those ugly things off and installed a brand new set of very shinny chrome cragar ss mags. wheels were the very first thing guys did to their cars back then.

the stripes on the yellow m-code are some kind of reflective tape. unfortunately, those stripes will be sacrificed for two now full quarter panels that have to be installed. as to the color, i don't know if that is the orignal color, i haven't tried to determine the original color as this car went straight from the seller in oklahoma to AMD's shop in georgia. i will probably keep this color as the engine bay is almost perfect.
