Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
It's been a slow day here. We had company from out of state so the day was spent prepping the house and dinner. After things settled down I finally made it out to the garage.
I'm still considering making it to a few of the car shows this year. There's no way the funnycar can be done but if some of those shows have 'unfinished' categories I still would like to take it. With that in mind I decided to address some of the nastiest looking areas on the car. The Cragars needed cleaning. They were showing rust. I had a broken valve stem on one of the front wheels too. The car still rolled around but it made sense to fix it.
I'm still working on the headers. I finished the flange welding but haven't extended the tubes yet.
In order to make the car presentable by Sunday I want to do the following:
1) finish welding the headers & paint them
2) notch the body for header clearance
3) finish installing the Lexan
4) clean up & paint the rear end housing
5) get the rest of the missing engine bolts. (the carbs & scoop are just sitting there unfastened)
6) if there's still time make as much progress on body repairs as I can and get some primer on the body
Right now it's just a wish list. I should be able to get some of them done.
