I agree with both of you. I prefer the 67-69 Barracudas to the 70-74s, and 69 is my favorite year. I realize that may put me in the minority, but I like what I like.

You already answered the question I always ask. If you can do all the work, then it is feasible to restore it without worrying about how much you have in it when you are done. Not having a fender tag will affect the value of the finished car, but unless you want a matching number trailer queen...

Nice work. I understand the big holes for the headers. What was the hole in the radiator support for?

We had an 85 Dodge Caravan with the 2.6L 4 cyl engine and an automatic. That was one of the best cars we ever had. It was AMAZING in the snow. With the front wheel drive and good tires on the front, we never had problems on snow and/or ice.

Boy, when you say it like that, a whole lotta stuff had to happen it just the right order.

Looking good. Don't get discouraged. Sometimes it is hard to feel like you are making progress, but I really like what I am seeing.

@yotah1, nice powder coating. Are you a hobbyist of professional? I've been powder coating for about 18 years. I just do it in my garage with a 3'x3'x6' oven. It's a money making hobby to me. You do really good work.

Excellent. I took my 17 year old grandson out and taught him how to drive a stick in my 69 340 Cuda. After about an hour, we found a secluded place, and I taught him how to burn rubber. He was grinning from ear to ear.

Very true. I haven't seen him in a long time.

I like 67 Darts. I had a friend who bought a rather rough one about 15 years ago. I spent a whole year helping him with it. After helping with quarter panels, floors, painting the engine bay, installing suspension, etc. He changes his mind, and sells it for pennies on the dollar. Without asking...

No kidding. I bet that 90% of the panhandlers around here have a car parked a few blocks away and an apartment or house.

I've been watching. Looking GOOD so far. No recent pictures of your cute little helper.

Definitely the green on the truck. I am following this build.

Definitely #5. In post #65, I see you have the same magnetic base flashlight as me. I LOVE mine. What are you thinking for paint / graphics? If I missed that, sorry. I think silver with a red interior would look awesome on Stubs. BTW, I think Stubs would be a great name for her. BTW, great fab...

Nice, Nice, Nice.

If it is just turning, I think the threads are shot. How hard is it to turn? I am not a suspension Expert, but I have done quite a few Mopar front end replacements. The threads on the ball joint and in the UCA are quite fine. It is not uncommon for the last person who installed a ball joint to...

Calling him a piece of **** is an insult to turds everywhere.

Did they make you change the title to a salvage title?

That's only half green. This is all green. Seriously; I really like the white and green combo.

Nice work. I'm watching.

I wish you lived closer. It sounds like we have a lot in common.

Hey, I found your restoration thread. NICE work so far. You must like rust repair as much as I do. I really enjoy cutting out rust and welding in new metal. Do you do your own paint also?

I can't wait to see pictures also. We have a saying on FABO: "Without pictures it didn't happen." LOL Seriously though, we would like to see some pics. When you say the "Car was painted a "DODGER BLUE" color", does that mean you had it painted that color, or that was the color that is WAS...

I wish you lived closer. I would love to help with that. I have always wanted to work on an old Chevy truck.

VERY COOL. I would not go overboard, but I'd go small block Chevy, PS, PB, AC. I LOVE the old Chevy/GMC trucks, But I would want one that drove a little easier. I have heard that a whole front suspension end will easily mate to the front of the truck. That gives you the V8, PS, PB, AC and Rack...

Great work so far. Your helper is a real sweetie. I bet dad is proud of her. Keep posting lots of pics. We like to see all forms of progress; even if it might not seem like much to you. For instance, I liked seeing the masking job on the console. It shows that you have a good level of detail...

I'm sure you already know this, but I want to tell you anyway. Bag and tag EVERYTHING you take off the car! buy several boxes of multiple sizes of zip lock bags and some markers. You won't regret it.

What kind of a timeline did the painter give you?

I found a source that lists 1965 interior codes. 1965 Mopar Paint codes (ornocar.com)

The interior blue is probably not the same color. I have a 69 Barracuda in F8 green with the dark metallic green interior. The interior paint had a different name and a different code. I don't know if Tower Paint is still in business, but I got the paint from them. @toolmanmike is a 65 A body...
