1966 Barracuda, Commando 4bbl, 4 speed restoration
First real (part)day working on the body of the barracuda. Current task is to cut out the parts that will be replaced with new metal. Only spent a few hours, but will be doing 1 of 2 Saturdays a month for a while. Here are some pics:
Also decided to take a stab at the carb rebuild. Kit is on the way but have done the disassembly and some cleaning. I was scared to see the inside of the bowls, but it was not bad at all (the liquid is carb dip and/or spray carb cleaner and/or Evaporust). Some gunk in the secondaries where the air door weights move, but again, now bad to clean up. I am hitting the Aluminum Oxide dust with a Dremel and a brass brush and it is looking good.
More details as I progress.
