Engine compartment done, got a couple of runs n the paint, wonder if I can sand it down and paint over the area? It's 2k polyurethane paint. Also wonder if I should remove all exterior old paint before sending it to the paint shop, been sitting since 1983 with this red paint.

Started the topcoat, but forgot to apply the seam sealer! Damn. Have to do that now, then just use a paintbrush to cover it, I have black seam sealer. At least I didn't paint the trunk area yet. Exterior is gonna be white pearl, this is just plain white.

Got some primer inside now. Ran out of my PPG grey so I used another 2K in the rear.

Got all surface rust out from under the dash and inside the roof by mixing phosforic acid with wallpaper glue, let it sit for 3 hrs, then used baking soda to neutralize the acid, and then a high pressure washer, worked well. There is spots that are very hard to reach with normal grinding tools.

That would be funny as hell! :)

Now, the backrest part, on the original vinyl there is some holes with brass fitting on the bottom, what are those for and do I need to transfer them to the new vinyl?

Added 3/4" (20mm) of foam to the seat, it came out great.

Got a new interior from Legendary, now, I got new foam for the front seats but not for the backseat, because it was in good shape, but is it a good idea to add 1/2" or so of foam on top of this befor I put the new vinyl on? Just an idea, I have never done this before.

Thanks! Mine must have missing or rusted so it fell off.

Smart! Will do that, whats holding the brake cable in the frame, there was no clip on mine, seem just pressed in the hole....

Finally got the connectors in place. Paint them and more undercoating next.

Made one of them today, a bit more grinding needed.

Also, car is on a rotisserie now. My plan is to hang the doors, check the door gaps, then lower the car and support it on the rear axle (on the car now) and on the front frame rails. Then spot weld the connectors, get it up again and finish welding them. Don't like welding from under. Does that...

Thanks, I didn't think of the cable. Since I bought this car in parts. I guess it's just for looks, where I attach it in the front. Looks better to match the frame I think.

After a 6 months break it's time to get back to the Barracuda! I'm gonna make my own subframe connectors for it. US CarTool style so it looks kinda stock. I got the material and had a local shop make up the parts for me, just gotta cut them correct to match the floor shape. Now, should I put...
