Sorry folks. Racing on the street is just plan STUPID!!!!!

Russ, Please wait a few months before you make a final decision. Before you Lung Transplant, I had about 13% of normal lung function. I had not worked on my 66 Barracuda in a long time. I was ready to sell it. I am now at about 58%. I am looking forward to working on a little this summer...

Remember, beauty is in the eye of the title holder.

Like was said, use heat shrink tubing. One more step could be paint the clamp black so is doesn't stand out so much.

When I dream, I dream big! A 41 Willy coupe with a 1st gen 426 Hemi and a 8-71 blower. Of course it must be street legal. Only needs 2-3 lbs out of the blower.

Are the flower pattern front seats really original?

Look thru the colors that interest you the most. Then go to the parts store a get one spray can of each of the colors you like. Paint a different part of the car a different color. Cover the other colors and stand back. The color you want will jump out a grab you. Mike

Check the net or even the yellow pages. Call a few, see how long they gave been doing that type of work. Not how long the shop has been there. Ask for references and check them out with the BBB. Ask around at the parts store and see who pops up. Try car clubs and talk to the guys that run a...

I worked at the NHRA track here in Denver, Bandimere for several years. We always had a good turn out for the weekend racers. These are the every day folks who race for fun. They may not go 300 mph but they are the back bone of the sport. Would love to see more of the old (60's) stuff. Mike

For sure, this will be an interesting season! Alan Johnson with out a sponsor. John Force with new sponsors. Hope he get enough $ to run hard. Plus the other companies pulling out of racing.

What do you mean by thermal cleaning? The machine shop I used, bakes the parts and then uses a form of shot blasting to clean heads blocks and stuff like that.

The equipment list makes it a fairly rare car. Not many were yellow. Not many had vinyl tops. Add in the 4 speed and full console and you are out of the norm. Still doesn't seem like 30k worth. Mike

Oh come on now. The first of April is long past.

The term "A special kind of Stupid" comes to mind.

I really like the quality of the black paint job on the hood of the "street machine". Makes you wonder about the quality of the other work. The 67 may be rust free, but it looks like a lot of dents and dings. The engine bay looks like a lot of dust, could it be possible the car sat for three...

Pm me, I have a set of COLO plates. No year on them. Have the mountain background on the top. Happy to donate them to the Father/Daughter build!!

Looked good until the picture of the rust under the vinyl top. Makes you wonder how much more rust is hiding.

Everyone has one they like. I have had good results with 409 and some elbow grease. Lot of other products be sides Armor All. Good luck with the cleaning.

Looked like there is some paint problems above the rocker panel molding. Could be other paint problems. Windshield washer tank and pump were not reinstalled after repaint. Can't believe driving without one.

In 1968 I bought a 1966 Barracuda, it had: Formula S package 4 speed Full console AM radio (don't know if this was an option) Lighter Black vinyl top Black interior Yellow paint No PS or AC No PB as I remember Wheel well moldings (option?)

Got a 360 straight out of a pick up from a junkyard. Every thing on the engine came with it. They pulled it and loaded it the back of my van. Total cost $150.00. Have had to get a car oil pan. Had a car oil pick up on hand.

Basic simple systems. Easy to troubleshoot. (with help from FABO) A lot of the work is down right fun to do.

It's not important weather the picture does the art work justice. YOU have done your dad justice. PS: The painting must be totally off the wall cool, given what you can see in the picture.

I think you can now see you're in a bigger "club" than you thought. In Jan. 2009 I was 60 and in mostly good shape and health. I thought I was coming down with a chest cold. I ended up in the hospital for a month. Half of it on a vent. Almost didn't make it. I now am disabled and on oxygen...

I noticed that the engine they installed (green charger) was not painted, had the original rusty starter on it, and a few wires hanging from the starter. Not the way my "restoresd" will look when I install it.

I found a B&M shifter that I wanted to use. It looks a little like a 4 speed, but it is for autos. I also figured that I could adapt it to fit the auto floor console in my 66 Barracuda. The problem is the kit comes with a 5 Ft. long cable. This is fine if you have one of those "other" cars...

It was unreal that the cylinder walls still the horning pattern!! Makes one wonder how and where they found a "used " engine with that many goodies. But we all know that TV is not real.
