Finally got some photos of the Blownfish
I finally got some time to take a few photos of my Cuda and to those that wanted to know more about it, here it is.
This was my first car that I got when I was 16 I tore it down shortly after I turned 18 to do body work and chassis work but with other cars, projects, girlfriends and then a wife and kids, I didnt get it back together till this spring.
It is a 65 with a 416 stroker, 578 roller cam, 671 BDS blower, 750 Demon blower carbs, A-833 4 gear, 9 Ford rear with coil over shocks and ladder bars and 4:56s The M/T 18.50 tires are tucked under widened stock wheel houses and I used as much of the stock floor pan as I could. I need to do a few more things to the interior but I tried to make the interior as stock looking as I could, I even have the rear seat which does still fold down even with the tubs. I have the top half out at the moment to finish the upholstery and I need to finish buffing the stainless trim. The body is painted the original med red poly and has all of the original trim to keep the original look of the Barracuda. I filled the original hood hinge openings to keep the engine compartment looking clean since I am running a fiberglass hood.
