Nate's 67 Barracuda FB build thread

You are correct!
They fit excellent but I wouldn't go much bigger fir tire size on the rear if it has not been tubbed out or your spring purches haven't been moved in.
My car before I purchased it WAS a 1/8 mile drag car and was hacked up pretty good. I'm one of those dummies that converted it BACK to what it was prior to the race setup. MOSTLY anyways. My project began as a father son project so it was in no way going to remain heavily modified and have my son behind the wheel on the roads. Now it's just me on the project and my son once in awhile so I kind of wish I didn't put it back to original. (MOSTLY)
My son has no time as he is a fire fighter cadet in training and working on EMT qualifications at age 16. Sorry so long winded, but yes, that's the sizes. I will re-check to be 100% sure in a minute and repost.
Aaron...

I wouldent say you were a dummy for converting it back to pre 1/8 mile drag duty. I say you were definitely smart for putting it back to pre race condition, unless it was a rare historical drag car that one of the greats of drag racing used to own, then its worth restoring in its vintage drag racing trim.

Other than that, i personally hate chopped up muscle cars. I am collecting the sheetmetal parts to unfuck a 69 notchback barracuda that somebody butchered up as a drag car. My son will also be driving it. As such it will be a 318 4bbl w duals, and 3.73 gears.
