New from TX, 68 notchback fish
I am proud to own a A body again!!
Name is Tim, my first car was a 72 Duster that I drove and hot rodded all through high school and a lil time after until I let a friend drive it and he wrecked it (lesson learned!)
I have been racing and hot rodding Chevrolets since then as my brother had an abundance of extra parts but my love of Mopars never died, they are just so expensive now days it was tough for me to find one.
Well I wheeled and dealed my way into a barracuda and am very excited to bring it back to life. It needs extensive work but its for the wife as a daily driver so she is on board with spending time and $$$ on it.:D
from what I read on tag its a original slant 6, nothing special except if I am correct it had the stripe around the rear factory? (back glass is gone, blazer top keeping water out)
I will be needing some parts for sure, I have already scored a good 318 and car has already been converted to a 904 auto. I will make a new post with a list of parts needed.
ANY and ALL help,opinions and ideas appreciated, plans are for 318 with FAST fuel injection, vintage air A/C, keeping 904, ford 8.8 rear, mini tubs, and converting it to the large bolt pattern disc brakes up front.
Here are some pictures, this is where I found it and condition.
and a lil vid of my[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l24lf_A-Yx8"] street truck[/ame] before I went crazy with it (cage/fab9 rear 505cid 13.5comp ect ect) :) thanks for letting me share, cant wait to get started on the fish!
