Really!!!! sub standard repair.
Now, I’ve seen some shady work, but this 67 Barracuda was the worst I’ve seen. Looks good in the picture, but underneath was weld after weld after weld, just to try to keep it from collapsing in on itself. There were also 2 quarter skins installed right over the original quarter on each side. There was more angle iron in the engine bay and under the car than there was original structure, and there was so much slag on the welds that most pieces just popped right back off. It was bought by a friend of mine who planned on driving it, until he tried to put a new fuel tank in it, and there was nowhere to hang the tank from. It also shifted very hard, as the entire car was collapsing in on itself, and it was binding the shifting rods. On the plus side, the interior was near perfect, all the trim on the outside was in very nice shape, and it had a commando motor in it. I traded a little 66 Formula S project I had for it, and saved another Mopar lover from giving up on the hobby.
