I've got 25.7" up front and 26.7" in the rear, great fit on my '68 (trimmed inside lips for extra clearance). Dr Diff's old 4x 13" Cobra discs all around.

Yes, the lights are now fully operational. Thank you!

Last week I replaced the worn out rear springs with new "factory height" 6 leaf springs but it looks like I'll have to either get lowering blocks or different front hangers as the back end is way too high now. The wheel gap has got to go! Before/After pics

Trimmed the front and rear glass today and we went for a spin. I do have functioning brake lights (when the running lights aren't on) & hand signals are legal here so it was fairly uneventful. Very strange electrical issues on this car, now I have brake lights but no signal flashers when the...

Nose shot, haven't had time to trim the windshield or drill side markers yet. I'm also having lots of issues with all of the lights aside from the headlamps. Trouble shooting time....

Thanks! The nose got finished today, now it's time to trim it out.

Tomorrow she gets a nose job!

Got into the buffing yesterday with a friend. I had wetsanded the whole car around 6-7 years ago with 1500 then 2000 grit, back when he buffed the front clip (we will need to cut and buff the front again from all the scratches over the years). After wet sanding some areas I touched up, he...

Weekdays are tough but I will certainly try to make it!

It's looking awesome, now that the end is in sight keep it up!

Drove it home on Saturday thanks to moper, now on to finish the wetsanding and buffing! And I guess I'll have to install the seatbelts, as well - this car SCOOTS!

Yup, I got mine from them a few weeks back and couldn't be happier!

Installed the hood, radiator, and started getting the rest of it back together for test-driving.

At last, some real engine pics! We were able to save the 383 by turning the crank, reaming the cylinders, and replacing the rings, bearings, camshaft, lifters, pushrods, rockers, oil pump, etc. The engine ran well on the break-in stand and didn't have any leaks, we detailed it and tossed on...

The past 2 months moper has been working like a busy bee on this car, and I have stopped over the past several weekends to help out - our initial goal last fall was to have the car ready for the last week of March 2017, and we are very very close to meeting that date. I crawled into the...

Towards the fall of 2016 I brought the car back to moper's house so he do the work to finish it for me, as my free time over the past several years had essentially been zilch. I had incredible difficulty installing the bellhousing and transmission, and we would soon find out that 1)...

The next steps circa 2006-2007 (missing photos right now) were for me to add welds to the K frame for strength, box the lower control arms, install the new front suspension w/ tubular upper control arms, install the new 13" disc brakes (all 4 corners), stainless steel brake & fuel lines and gas...

Black is "in"

After the car was blocked we trailered it to an undisclosed location deep in the hinterlands of rustic CT for paint.

In addition to the floor patches, I welded on new replacement/half quarters and trunk extensions, sections of rocker, replaced the doors with some rust free ones, and found a decent trunk lid and hood. When I did the 1/4 panels I was a bit sneaky and slightly widened the wheel openings to fit...

I was only brave because I lucked out from '01-05 by working 2 jobs and having essentially zero living expenses. I wouldn't dream of touching a car like that right now!

stripped down the dash and primed.

I ripped out the 340 and traded it to fellow member Moper in exchange for some work on a 340/416 Dart Sport I had at the time. The Barracuda had already been repainted on top of the original paint, so after the engine was out I began by stripping the engine bay down to bare metal and giving it a...

Gutting the interior introduced me to my new best friend nemesis... rust! Because the windshield had been taken out of the car and placed off-center while the car was stored outside for the better part of a decade, water collected inside and the mice had their own swimming pool. This car must...

I organized and sorted out the parts while emptying the car, figuring out which piece would be kept and which would be sold to help fund the project. I had 2 header/grille panels, 3 dash boards with instrument clusters, 2 sets of bucket seats, extra parking lenses, hubcaps, wheels, junk...

I was able to access my old hard drive, so here are the pictures of the car in the yard on the night I picked it up. Can you say BASKET CASE!

Sweet! I love the '68 notch.

Nice! The inner fenders on my '68 are drilled for hood pins but I'm not yet sure if I want to got that route or not.

Nice job!

Fortunately most of my pictures are already in digital format and on old hard drives. The downside is that my power supply for the old computer is dead, and the old drives are IDE while new drives are SATA (and use different power connectors). I have ordered a conversion adapter but it won't be...
