Working on getting my 1967 Barracuda back together. It started life as a slant six silver with red interior. It found its way to a back yard in Southern CA were it sat and was picked apart. We cut the weeds out from under it brought it home and changed all the fluids new battery fired it up after sitting 5 plus years. Drove as "was" for 3 more years then I parked as life went along for 4 years. My son wanted to work on it, so the adventure began. I'm trying to complete the project before he leaves for the Marine Corps. I doubt that will happen but we will try with the help of FABO
Thanks to all who have helped and sold us parts to this point.

The pics are the paint job.

The fun is beginning. We just put sound deadening down. We almost have the motor together it is a 360 magnum stroker. When I post pics I will give the specs. We have the front suspension together we went with a 1969 k member, 11 3/4 rotors, KYB shocks, sway bar, polyurethane bushings. We have a 8.75 rear end with 3.23 742 case big bolt pattern rear end 6 leaf rear springs (re arched) completly rebuilt with new bearings, seals, and clutches.
We have the aluminum 1 1/16 inch master cylinder new brake lines.
We rebuilt the heating and ac unit.
The vinyl top and headliner will go on first of next month and we will have the windows placed
 
Nice work! When is your son heading to basic? My son is to go in Sept. He joined Marines as well. Keep up the good work.

Cuda vert I'm saying the same thing first car done to this degree but half the car was missing in the first place.

You do very nice work.

Seems that lately all the Barracuda notchbacks that have been hiding are coming back from the grave.

Looks great! What a clean job on the subframe connectors - your welds look real good.
