The "Crusher Cuda" Project

I must admit that I have been and still am a blue blooded Ford lover. But, I have always wanted a Mopar in my stables. I just never found one I could afford or was in good enough shape to fix. Well, I spotted a 1966 Barracuda stripped at a local wreaking yard and just couldn't leave it there. My plan is to build a budget V8 fun drag car. I will not intentionally hack the the car up, but it will not be nut and bolt restored either. Initially I wanted to stay in the 3k budget, but lets see if I can stay in the 5-6K budget instead. I will do my best to keep regular updates, but no promises. I have a lot to learn and a lot of things that will test my skills. Well, here we go!
