    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    All 4 wheels and front disk brakes installed: I can't get over how much different the wheels make the car look. It's crazy. I need to adjust the toe quite a bit though. The wheels look to be off by inches. I'll do the straight pins and a tape measure method to set it close enough to...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    Got 71 Imperial shocks installed. I was hoping to put in the rear sway bar but there were no existing holes in the frame rails. So then I decided to put on the wheel adapters and bullitt wheels on the back axle. Picture shows the corrosion but they were a really good deal. Planning on...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    Figured out the short, it was a bulb that was bad, but the filament was not blowing out, instead the fuse was going. Also adjusted the brake light switch properly so those work now. Hoping this weekend I can get the shims under the motor mounts in hopes of getting the header tube off of...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    I'm getting more and more into it myself. So far the deviations from stock are things that give the car more performance. Aluminum radiator and corresponding clutch for the fan, and the SS rear leafs. I figure the best thing for the car is an upgraded cooling system. I broke my brake...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    Finished up the SS leaf spring install. Picked up newport shocks but I still have to press the upper sleeve out of them so I can mount them on my car. The car sits almost perfect on the driver's side. Passenger side is a bit high. First impression, holy cow the car peels rubber a lot more...

    66 barracuda...going for a different look

    That thing is looking good! I love the murdered out look. Do the cops give you any hassle with that window tint? The ones around here are absolutely horrible about it.

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    I went ahead and pulled the rear leaf springs. From the look of the fasteners and the hangers and what not they were the original ones that came with it. Did the whole removal job with a 1/2" drive rachet and 12 point sockets. EVERYTHING loosened right up and didn't fight me at all. I was...

    64 Valiant 440 build

    This is the big block internal balance part: http://www.fluidampr.com/product/720311/ I need to get a 408 built out of my 360 so I can run the small block one.

    64 Valiant 440 build

    Sounds like how I want to build my Barracuda. Except I'm going small block and a 5 speed for now, maybe a 6 speed later on. I don't have the heart to cut my sheet metal for the sub frame connectors like you did on yours though. not even pin holes in my floor. Is your 440 internal balance...

    64 Valiant 440 build

    Progress is amazing! this car is going to be a monster! Are you building it for cornering? How does that firm feel sway bar mount to the LCA? Do they supply weld on tabs? Do you have a part number for it? Been looking for one for my 64.

    Can you post a diagram of how you laid out the wires? I have to do this to my 64 so I can pull the harness and check for shorts/breaks.

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    I have been considering this quite a bit lately, especially since I want to run Bullitt wheels, the ones I have need spacers to clear the springs. If you use the 8.8 rear end out of the exploder I won't need to narrow it. The only thing that puts the 9" ahead for me is the quick change...

    Demon got painted this weekend.

    The thing looks like an E body almost. Always loved the Demons. Color combo is perfect on that car! Makes me want to consider a plum crazy scheme for mine...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    Someone put a dual field alternator in my car before I bought it. I found the grounding the second field loop on here, there was even a stud for it built into the alternator. Is there a better way to do it, or should I buy a new alternator with a single field loop? I'll pick up some 8 Gauge...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    I laughed out loud at that hood comment! I drove the car Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to work, and then took a 40 mile round trip drive after work Friday. But then the dash lights and tail lights shorted out on me. The steering column was hot I noticed. So I'm taking the wheel off and...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    It is still growing on me. I like most of it, the front clip still has some growing to do on me though. As far as starting with a solid car, this thing has almost no rust on the original sheet metal. The hood has some rust through on the bottom of the leading edge, but it was off a northern...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    Picked up some 05' mustang bullitt wheels last night. Paid $100 less than new and they came with spacers for the front and almost new performance tires. Also picked up some body working tools and an edelbrock performer intake at a swap meet/flea market over the weekend. Ordered an...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    That's one of the first things I want to go actually. Most of the time people still ask what it is, or say why did I call it that when it isn't one. I tell them I'm sorry I guess they know my car better than I do. I was glad he didn't, but I think I could have held my own. I'm a stocky...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    I plan on doing a good amount of pictures. I think my first step will be stripping the spare door. It was re-painted canary yellow, might have been red originally. I'm going to get a feel for what it will take to strip the car down. If it's tough going I might try and get a hold of the...

    1964 Plymouth Barracuda Build CAUTION Resto Mod

    Last fall I decided I had the muscle car itch again. I've always loved the look of B bodies, and some of the A bodies. Well since my budget was low I looked to A bodies. Found a craigslist ad for this car for $5000, saw it was listed before for $6800. I figured I could haggle the guy...

    64 Valiant 440 build

    Where can you get one of these from? I've been thinking I need to do this to my manual steering gearbox in my 64. I'm hoping for the rack and pinion feel.
