1968 Barracuda resto 13+ years in the works! 383 Six-Pack 4-spd??
The next steps circa 2006-2007 (missing photos right now) were for me to add welds to the K frame for strength, box the lower control arms, install the new front suspension w/ tubular upper control arms, install the new 13" disc brakes (all 4 corners), stainless steel brake & fuel lines and gas tank, drop in a new wiring harness, and build the engine.
The engine build was simply a warmed up cam into a supposedly-running 383 shortblock, topped off with a brand new six-pack kit (intake, carbs, air cleaner). The exhaust came from Accurate, with their reworked HP manifolds.
Little did I know that this engine (as built) wasn't going to run.
No progress made from late 2008 to roughly 2010/2011.
At this point I was finally able to get some time with a friend to wetsand, cut, and buff! We managed to get the front clip of the car done, and roughly 6 years later it was still half/half.
