65' Boise Barricuda new project, new member

Hi
My names Jeff and I guess that I'll go back to the start.....I was kicking around with my girl a few weeks ago and came across a dusty Barracuda in a trailer park outside of town. I decided to stop and poke around, knocked on the door..no answer. I then brushed the dust off the windows and looked inside. There is an old, yellowed, broken "for sale" sign in the back seat...numbers still legible. I called the lady. She said that she just moved and she would be willing to sell it. The numbers on thee old sign said 8000.00.....bad starting point, I think to myself. We exchanged numbers. I took a few pictures, opened the hood not knowing anything about Mopars. It looked like a V-8....Good. The more I kept peeling away the neglect, the more I noticed how good the overall condition of this car was. Every bit of chrome from bumpers to molding was straight (a little pitting here and there). The seats looked intact under the rubble. Carpet wasn't too bad. No idea if it would run at all, the lady said that she had not driven it in 5-6 years. She told me that it was not the original motor, so they put a different bigger one in. She said she didn't like it cause it was too fast. Hmmm? That's my girl Trudy by the way....We swapped numbers and agreed to meet a week later to take a closer look and possibly try and drive the car. In the meantime, I go home and started my homework. I find out that these cars were the earliest version of a muscle car just before the Mustang....Not the most successful, but still super cool in my book. Because of the relative obscurity of these cars, reproduction parts are not very commonly available. Good thing to know going in. I checked values and I was right, 8G was a little deep in the end zone to start your drive. I dug around and found out that there are a few communities of guys out there that exchange ideas about these cars. I stayed up way too late geeking out about old Barracudas! I've never really "restored" a car ever before, but I thought that this might be just the thing to get my fat *** off the couch this winter and keep moving around!
Needless to say I've taken several steps forward so far and I would love to continue to share my progress as well as ask questions and correspond with you guys out there. I started to work on the car and stumbled on the forums section and I guess I started a thread! I was wondering about taking out the dash and to ask a few other questions to start me off. The response from you guys in Mopar nation was awesome! Solved my first problems easily, showed interest in what I was doing, offered suggestions, links to web sites...really anything I needed. I can't find that original thread in this web site, so I don't know how to link up to it. But that thread is the starting point of all of this. Any suggestions on how to keep rolling along in a simple way. Maybe attach that first thread? Then I will hit you up with the most recent stuff I've done.
Thanks for being out there guys!
