Stroker's 68 Barracuda
Im still looking for a driver side tail light lens that's fitting for this build. So while that adventure continues so does the rest of the build. It's crazy how tough some of the parts are to find compared to 15 years ago. That's the joy of motoring in a 55 year old car.
One of the big question marks on this project since the day i picked it up, to me at least, has been the narrowed purple 8 3/4 out back of this thing.
I'm not arrogant, usually, but Im always questionable of other people's work. Especially since a lot of the work done on this car has been funky. Ive had to strip most of the paint and metal work down to redo and Ill get to the floor in another post.
To my surprise the unit was smooth turning and true. It's narrowed 5.5", has a right stuff detailing rear disc swap, green bearings (with stop clips), and dutchman 30 spline shafts. It's not going to be a drag car. More or less mullets and burn outs.
Downside is the 489 chunk is a 2.73 open. Already gutted that and ordered 3.55s and a Powr-Lok from Doctor Diff.
And the purple. Should I rock the purple housing or paint it chassis black?
