that is a very clean looking baracudda.i can tell theres been a lot of hard work put into it and it is very deatailed looking.if it is to be a show car,i have one suggestion,but hope you dont get offened.the windshield washer bottle looks dingy for a show car,and everything else looks so good.just my thoughts.great looking car any way!
 
That's awesome...nice! Unusual colours though, what do you call that interior colour, bonze?
 
nice car bet you cant wait to get it out and drive it hope you are in an area where you can drive it when you get it done. Good Luck Justin
 
Jim, nice job!!! As other posters have said, that's an unusual interior color but it looks good!

If you aren't going strictly original, check with SpeedwayMotors.com for an aluminum radiator. I got a nice crossflow that needed minimal mods to install for well under $200.00.

Keep up the good work!!! :mrgreen:
 
I like the sanitary wiring job. Shows attention to detail. Howard
 
the original color was a egg white with a copper int. all of the int. was good except the front seat and carpet. changing the int. color would have been too costly. Yes i need to change the washer tank just had it there to run and check wiring
 
Nowadays you have a choice of gray or beige with interior colors. Those were the days when you could get so many different colors.

take it off and liberally put in some engine degreaser and swish it around. Then go to car wash and spray the hell out of it. You will be happy with the results. I used to own a rad shop and did that to every customers car. Amazing results!
 
I finally got a few days off and installed my radiator,drive shaft and bumpers on monday. The guys did a great job on the chrome. Made two trips around the block. Hope i did not upset the neighbors (open headers) . Thursday i had the allignment done and exhaust put in. X pipe and Flowmasters. They sound awsome. If the weather clears up in the next two weeks i can pull the car out to wash wax and detail. Still need to get a fan shroud ,man those puppys are hard to find and are pricy. Hope to post more pictures soon.

I bought a repro and it wouldn`t stay round. It kept warping and hitting the fan so I returned it. The originals will cost you but are worth it.
 
Your car is looking good, no great!:cheers:
I bet it felt good to get to drive it and feel the fish again.
Wait till midnight and fire that fish up
and make sure it will be Friday night.=D>
nice work jim
 
Started looking at at the lines on the body and noticed the back end looked lower. So I looked at old pictures and saw were the springs were sagging. So more delay in time . I pulled the springs out and sent them to be rearched. Calling insurance people on policies so i can buy tags before a car show on the 15th. The weather has been rainning and cold and have not been able to wash & wax for more pictures. Man I long for a FINNISHED FISH.
 
Jim, call Grundy Worldwide about your insurance. VERY GOOD policy, great price, fantastic customer service ... and they'll even cover your uninstalled parts too! I had a binder less than 6 hours after paying for the coverage so they'll be able to get you covered well in advance of the show.

Best of luck!
 
Two years ten months and it is finisned. Thanks to all the members for the tech info and for turning loose of some extra parts. I think I wil take a few months off before starting my next project which is a 67 Dart (retired drag car)

Thanks Jim
