67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Well I drove to lubbock and met up with a fellow fabo guy who was all the way from San Diego CA. Andy who goes by ABCuda on fabo was travelling across the country delivering barracuda parts as he went. I scored a southern California clean Chunk "O" Cuda from him. I will be slowly and carefully dismantling this cardaver as it has many needed structural parts and rust thru replacement parts that will be used for my sons 69 notch.
The pieces we need off of it are parts I just cannot buy as repops. My only option until this gem popped up was to fabricate what we needed. I could have done that since I do possess those skillz, but would have preferred to not. The trunk jamb water channels on our cuda are so rust perforated, and on this cardaver they are solid. It also has great condition and intact trunk hinge supports, and solid roof to outer wheelhouse supports with only light surface rust. These were ruthlessly torched out of my sons car when ricky racer stuck those horrid aluminum tubs in probably back in the 1980s sometime.
