Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I won't be able to get much done today. I've got a wedding to attend so nothing will happen unless I get busy tonight. This morning I picked up some more steel for the funnycar engine mounts. I still need to weld on some 1/2" thick plates for the front motor mounts to bolt to. I'll drill & tap them so there won't be a need to get underneath the car for removal.
My eyes must be getting worse. I'm having a real hard time seeing when I'm welding and it's making it difficult to do a nice job. I removed the clear lenses in my helmet but it didn't help much. I may have to see if I can find a lighter tinted lens. I could still see well enough to be confident of penetration but the welds are sloppy and nonuniform. After I dress them up a bit they should still look presentable.
The Barracuda hood still isn't repaired. After my sinuses flared up the other day I took a break from it and haven't finished it.
