1968 Barracuda Notch 340

No worries, I'm always open to

No worries, I'm always open to constructive criticism. I cannot lower the bumper because the top surface of the modified E Body bumper is almost right on the lower part of the grille, the bumper sort of swallows the grille. The bumper also serves to fill the gap below the grille. You can see in the 2 grille pics it is a late model Chally grille "cap" i've reinforced as a stand-alone grille and bows out from my cars relatively flat front considerably. Luckily the E body bumper angle was close to accommodating the bow, I only needed to close the bumper angle slightly. The E body lower valance was a relatively simple mod. and I love the gaping fish mouth comparatively. The left front pic of my car shows some work I did on the valance to close the valance/bumper gap more so it matched the right side, when doing this work I looked up E body car pics and found the gaps seem to be present from the factory albeit mine are a bit bigger.

Cool thanks for the additional photos...nice wrap where you cut and welded the bumper to curve around your fender extensions. That bumper/valence gap on the yellow cuda is perfect and I totally get what you are doing now. I have 9 of these old girls but none of them are modified. I do not have a notchback all fast backs but we do have a 67 convertible that I am acquiring parts for now. It is for my girlfriend of 28 years. It was a 180 hp 273 but we have a 67 cast 202 valve x head 340 and all of the parts to covert it into a hybrid 67/68 formula s car. My god how many hours do you have in this car so far? You guys that do these over the top restoration modifications should punch a time clock every time you work on the cars. I think you are really on to something here...I am certainly "feeling it" Keep up the good work! I will love to see it when you are done. P.S I like the stance as well it looks ****!
