SS/B Barracuda project

Stefan, I fully get where you're coming from. The fact is, these cars were never race-ready from the factory. Oh sure, they had all the good stuff, but were only a jumping-off point for the racers. As a result, the cars were little more than a big motor stuffed into a small car using baseline parts, like the A100 seats. If you're going for an "as raced" or "day 2" set-up, from say, 1969-1970 now you're talking cool-cans, torque straps, clamped S/S springs,etc. It wasn't until mid/late '71 or so that alot of these cars moved into Modified Production or Gas classes & they really started getting cut-up.
So I guess you need to decide: do you want your car "as shipped", "day 2" or later M/P-S/S configuration. In any event I'm sure it'll be cool. Please, keep us posted...........

Yes, if you mean I come from Sweden you are right. I don´t have the in deep knowledge that some of you guys have. That´s why I´m here in the first place. But only partly... I know pretty well how these cars came from Hurst, and how they have change through the years.
I was hoping my first post would be clear enough. I stated "as campaigned in´68-69" ´well aware of what happened to some of the cars in 1970 and later through the years.

Now you mention clamps. Good info, I did not know that. This are what I call in deep info. But it is a tight fit in there. Is it they had moved the springs inboard to the frame rails in ´69 up date? Or maybe they did when preparing for the 1968 season???

So leave the ´70 up cars out of my project. As interesting they are, it would bee impossible for me to decide what to do and what not to do with my project.

Thank you hemicop, you have added one small little detail. Now I what all the rest of them.

For the last time ;)
Think a 1968 4-speed Hemi Barracuda as delivered from Hurst. Add to that one year of work in terms of reinforcement to the body and such added equipment and what ever the racers had done to his car.

THINK 1969 NHRA SPRINGNATIONALS SS/B BARRACUDA WANNABEE!!!!

Now I´m afraid there are only a few of you guys who can help me, but please step forward!
Your contribution will add to a piece of American Racing History...

And when I am done you´r gonna nod with a grin on your face...

Thank You
Stefan
