    Restoring a found 69 Barracuda

    I knew there was another vin # under the car, but isn't there one in the trunk channel run?

    Restoring a found 69 Barracuda

    If it's on one of the rails I should still have it.

    Restoring a found 69 Barracuda

    First time this year I pulled the covers off of my project vehicles. I was kind of losing my drive until I saw some of the members Barracudas. Now I’m ready to go for it again. Both cars are to the point where it’s guide coat and final sanding. I had to go to this guy’s house for a...

    TrailBeast, That's a great story. It's really cool for the real stuff to be appreciated like that.

    SNOBS

    Read MRGTX'S thread on the guy who should have kept his opinion to himself when it came to pointing out flaws in someone's ride. It brought back memories for me. I've been an auto body repair man for a long time. I enjoy mostly restoration and am not afraid to restore almost anything. Like most...

    It's not about the money or the horsepower

    I have to be honest. When I rebuilt my 340 and hooked it up to the exhaust it was loud. Loved it. When I drove it thru the dirt parking to pull it into the shop it shot me back into the seat. Liked that too. I'm anxious to get it on the road. I'm 67 now. I get nervous at 75-80 mph in my Rouge. I...

    It's not about the money or the horsepower

    I'm not positive and tried to check out the year that the Carisle Mopar Nationals selected either a Plymouth Signet or Dodge Dart 4 door that won the Best of Show. Had to be a shocker for everyone there.

    Thanks Jeff, glad to see there are other people that share my opinion. You have to drive the cars to really appreciate what you have. I can see the logic in trailer queens. people drive like assholes and you always have to be on the look out. There was a modified model t that used to go cruise...

    It's not about the money or the horsepower

    Looking forward to those pictures. I used to be an auto appraiser for an insurance company in the field. I traveled most of upper NJ. Found a lot of cars in people's d/ways and backyards. I found a 71 Duster in a tow yard. An old lady owned the car. She rear ended another car and didn't want the...

    Beautiful picture. My daughter will love it. The warlock is a perfect 1st vehicle for a kid. Should be a real head turner. Hope you meet your deadline. You're not going pink on the Warlock are you? LOL

    It's not about the money or the horsepower

    Thanks Roger, I started watching the shows on Velocity again. I gave up for a while but now that I'm retired I started working on my own projects and watch the shows for inspiration. I can't believe what people invest into these cars on these shows. You can see why the original matching number...

    It's not about the money or the horsepower

    When my kids were going to graduate High School I built them each a Mopar of their own. The 1st son received a 66 Coronet 440. My daughter got a 70 Dart. My youngest son got a 71 Duster. They weren't high powered cars but for their 1st car I felt that they were enough. I had a 71 Challenger...

    I wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide all that info on the LCA. It's great to know all those details. I wrote them down for a future reference. Thanks again. Ron

    [Found!] LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM

    Steve, I had a blast at your home today. When I was younger I went to a guy's house that built fiberglass funny cars. He had six or seven that he was finishing. He was also a painter and did all the graphics. He was air brushing fake headlamps on a car when I was there. The other cars were on...
