Frnknsteen's '67 Barracuda

Just read your whole thread, nice car you have there, glad to hear you're having fun with it, that's the way it's supposed to be.

I'll bet a lot of the people on here can relate to your experiences on your project. I know I do, mentioning the sandblasting made me chuckle, incredible all the places the sand ends up getting into, I felt like a real dirtball by the first time I finished a blasting job.

You're right, Brewers are real good people to deal with, very knowledgeable and helpful, I got a rebuilt trans from them.

I too put in one of Rob's headlight relay kits. Not only are the headlights brighter, but it also takes a bit of load off of the wiring harness. I discovered that somewhere in my car's past life the wire that feeds power from the headlight switch to the headlights got so hot it MELTED part of the plug on the headlight switch.

Good call on using the Bilsteins instead of the KYBs. I bought a set of the KYBs for my car, but when I went to install them I discovered that they have a lot of gas pressure which would contribute to the ride harshness people on here have complained about. After getting a set of the Bilsteins I compared the gas preload to the KYBs and the KYBs have twice the preload, 100 lb. compared to 50 lb. The Bilsteins are a much better quality product.

Good luck on your project and keep smiling.
