MOPAR VIRGIN's 1968 Barracuda Convertible RestoMod Journey
And so ... We ended-up with that custom paint color.
It was a BIG GAMBLE and the shop owner was not an advocate of it (he is now), but after deliberating over three visits over the other colors, we went for it and feel it has yielded an incredible result, but likely to tork the Mopar and classic restoration purists.
At first we planned to go with the "black-out" approach of the original inspiration car, but in seeing the car in person and referencing the 2010 Challenger pics we found, we are intending to use classic white horizontal stripes with a white interior. One of the pics has black electrical tape on it when we were playing around with striping options.
In a couple months we'll be back in the PacNW kicking-off the interior work, picking wheels and putting fresh replacment parts on. Our hope is to have this on-the-road by end of June and will post more on the project then.
