interesting paint sceem, looks good! am going to do something similar w/ my 68 fast back--bob
 
I'm all about original cars, not customized......BUT DAM, that looks great!!!

Can't wait to see how it all comes together!!!
 
Looks nice! And the transmission tunnel looks much bigger than stock. 6 speed? 545RFE automatic? :D

No it is a 727. it is the floor carpet that is rolled up over the shifter. had so much Electric switches in the shifter box that i did´nt want to remove it. so thats why it looks big :)
 
Thanks for all the comments. I should have started a thread when I started the Project, but When I´m in to a restoration.. I can´t Think of aything else. But I have Pictures that i have taken during the restoration that i will post.
 
Interesting paint scheme. Subscribed to your thread. Cheers

Now that you told me what I was looking at, I can see it plain as day! :violent1: LOL. Keep up the good work! :prayer:
 
Man that paint job is gonna look awesome when assembled, complete inside and out, bet that set you back quite a bit.
 

I haven't done that much with the barracuda lately. Been busy with my education. But i have restored the dashpanel. Had the metal fram repainted and the dashpad repaired and repainted. The plastic dash i sanded away all the old paint and chrome. Then i sprayed it with black paint and then i used the spaz stix mirror chrome. It turned out great!! Bougt the silver lower trim on ebay and it fitted perfect. Here Some pics😆.

Sorry for the delay in updates – a home renovation and two wonderful kids came in between.
The car has been finished (if a car is ever truly finished) for a little over three years now.
I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I don't think there's a single bolt I haven't touched on this car.
I ran the 1/8 mile this weekend, for the first time in 13 years.
My best run was 7.36 seconds at 150 km/h.

And best of all – my kids love the "Fish". The future is secured.
