340 4spd 3:91 gears. Just sent the engine out for machine work yesterday.
 
Wow! Nice work and nice car. Obviously not a beginner. Who makes the body parts?
Thanks, The quarters I got at Carlisle from Shermans the rear body panel came from Laysons before the ball drpped on them . The front fenders where 68's I converted to 69's and the front frame rails and inner fenders are from a 72 Duster. The hood is from a 73 Dart. The car hasnt been on the road since 1976 70k original miles, but life was hard on the poor ole girl.

where did you get your trunk floor? ive got a 67 and any place ive found them doesnt have the extensions down to the rear quarter.

No one is making the trunk extensions for 67-69 barracuda. You will have to get a 67-74 a body trunk extension and modify it.

Thats exactly what I did, My tops where good I only used the sides and did massive fabricating to get them to fit the rear contour of the Barracuda quarter panels. My guess they are for a Duster the tops dont even look like the Barracuda ones.
 
I had to use the whole thing the originals were to far gone. I got them from yearone, they actually looked pretty close to the originals on top. I had to trim the lower rear corner and I had to pie cut and add a piece to the front drop were it meets the outerwheel house but they fit pretty good.
 
awesome!

love seeing all the pictures too.

Pictures always give me motivation and ideas for my project
 

Awesome work and nice pics! You've got some mad skills and plenty of ambition. It brings back good (and bad) memories of when I first tore apart my '67.

You said "The hood is from a 73 Dart". I'm curious, how is that going to work out? Any pics of the front?

1969 Barracuda and 73-76 Dart Sport and Swinger used the same hood. 69 was different than 67-68 Barracudas.

Thanks, Its what I do for a living.
 
Nice work! As others have already said, you dove in and grabbed a fistfull of whoop-azz. I would have never guessed that the Duster sub frame would have swapped over. Love the 67-69 fastbacks, I'll be watching this one. :read2: L8r
