1967 Barracuda Fastback- Project: "Not as Nice as Tony Fields'"
Well, we had a 70 degree day here in NY and it was a beautiful morning to get some things done on the car that I've been putting off during the winter.
Unfortunately, I forgot my good digital camera. Cell phone pics will have to do...
First, here's a pic of the 273 Commando air cleaner installed:
Then, I removed my old, pitted, peeling, beat up, rattle-can-black, hood inserts and installed the beautiful set I scored from another FABO member.
The old set:
Cleaned up the mounting area (surprisingly dirty):
I added brand new hood insert gaskets as well. (f anyone needs a set of these, I highly recommend the gaskets sold by Detroit Muscle Technologies Inc. I scored these on ebay for next to nothing and they fit great. Quality is top notch. (P/N ABA6767HI01)
Polished them up with some chrome polish and buffed out with a soft towel:
Next up I'll be installing a new trunk mat and the correct underhood insulation. I also have a set of matching BFGoodrich Radial T/A white letter tires for the front of the car. More to come...
