Great thread! keep up the good work. Love the photoshopped pic of the final outcome should be a labour of love. *S* Dorian

your going to need a few more bars for your cage to meet NHRA requirements. Door bar and dash bar for starts. Also by the looks of your pics a main hoop support going to the frame rails. Should be a great ride when your done!

Hood looks like it is about 1/64 off to the right, other than that it is way cool!!!!

Very nice work! The Craftsmanship you display is second to none... I am about to embark on repairing the rust in my 68 and with the help from my buddy Herb, he too is a craftsman like you. I know that we can do it. (Mine is minor to what you had and your documentation is detailed enough to...

The Dart looks beautiful, very unique color it really grabs you. Will be looking for the finished pics outside!

That sheet is your build sheet. Tells you exactly what your car was ordered with etc.

Nice rendering... did you free hand that or is it a computer program. Either way you may be able to fund your project by doing renderings for members... just a thought.

Hey Sydcuda when was that? I met a young guy from Australia who was going walkabout to see the world and we met up in Kamloops BC and hit it off real well. ya ya I know its a long shot but you never know LOL I had his name and address but lost my address book with all my connections that I...

are you talking about my car? Or the orange/red truck?

Yes he was, if you notice I stalled it as I pulled up. My brother in law was videotaping and I seen him from the corner of my eye. LOL you can even see me shake my head, I was so nervous because I had just passed my buddy's son as I was pulling up from the staging lanes.

Great looking car! Nice job keep up the great work. Have there been any stumbling blocks for you? I noticed there are a lot more members doing this swap so I figured the more info out there the better!

Hey 74 Scampga, If you notice in his earlier post he says " I know there are competent men and women out there but these mechanics were at best “part changers” not suitable for ASE certification." So he is not slagging all mechanics just the ones that timed this car. As you said a...

It was a 68 Barracuda Coupe 318 automatic. What I had been looking for for years and hear it was. It was definitely a sign. I knocked on the door and talked to the guy. He wanted $5000.00 because it was a 68, you know the story, in 68 they came out with the HEMI blah blah blah etc. Thanks...

I have been meaning to start this for over a year now, well I guess better late than never! LOL Anyways, it all started 3 years ago when I came across my 68 coupe right hear in town. I have been wanting a 68 for quite some time and always found them far far away. Getting married and having...

Well it just goes to show you CAN make chicken soup out of chicken ****... Sorry couldn't resist. Nice car keep us posted

just a little advice... you probably will want to cross brace the car doors and the interior before you start to use your rotisserie too much. Uni bodies tend to flex when their not braced.

try e-bay I have found lots of weather strip for sale there, some complete kits for the whole car around $220.00 for 13 pieces.

Maybe this would satisfy the masses!! LOL [/IMG]
