Dratsum with his first MOPAR - '69 cuda Modtop
Hi All!
My name is Brain, but I go by Dratsum on the internet. I live in Brooklyn Ny. My girlfriend's (AKA "my wife's") first and only car is a 1969 Barracuda Mod Top with a slant 6. Totally stock. She drove it from about 1999-2005, when she put it in storage after we moved from GA to NYC.
For the last few years, we've been trying to get the car registered, inspected, approved, tagged, etc, so we could get it out of the garage and back on the road. It finally came together a couple weeks ago, and a mechanic friend of mine helped us get it running again. Changed the battery, replaced all the fluids, bled the brakes, etc.
:cheers:
She runs well, we actually have to replace the windshield to pass NY safety inspection. :wack:
Over all we want to improve the stopping power (considering front disc conversion) and the pick up... Bolt ons, etc, And take some dents off the body, rust taken care of, and deal with some rips in the upholstery. Get her in show off condition... She's not a trailer queen - but not a daily either (New Yorkers don't need to drive every day :burnout: )
DON'T TAKE PHOTOS AND DRIVE! :cheers:
BuAHahAhhaHAha...
Other things - I design websites, I'm in a surf punk band (with my wife) and I like tiki drinks.
Anyway -- HOLA!
Drats.
