1967 Plymouth Barracuda I started on back in 2010- got a couple of other threads on here from the takedown and such (Getting closer to the Start- '67 Barracuda "before" shots for one).
A long haul- the shop I selected for body and paint has had her for 18 months. . .part of the hold up has been having his shop bulldozed by TXDOT and having to relocate. . .
. . .but worth the wait!
Here you see some of the "during" phase; the usual body work done on not too great front clip, fenders and the like. Not too easy to see are the new floor pans welded in, the attention paid to getting the body lines right. . .and getting things lined up properly. Had frame ties installed and welded in while the body was supported and aligned- really helped with the process. . .
Gentlemen had to fab new radiator support and all that from the mauling this girl took at my hands as a teenager. . .he did a great job with all.
