My 1968 Barracuda S

[MoparMic]

Im starting to make some progress on my car and i think i have eveything i need for mockup so im going to shot some pictures on here when ever i get some work done the car is an H code Barracuda 383 4 Speed when i got it i was looking for a duster/dart to build a street strip 4 speed car the car was an old race car and was very cut up as you will see the frame rails were cut in half for tire clearance and the wheel wells were blown out it was more than i wanted to deal with but i had to have it. Im sure ppl will say why cut up a H code car but believe me the car was so cut up that it would have been a full on resto and that isnt what i was looking for i think i saved the car from the crusher. So the plan is to run a 431 4speed 4.56 gears and 29X14.5 OTs hopefully into the HI 10s

Well one down one to go my primer gun was messing up so i had to spray 2k with a gun that had a small nozzle it worked but it went on thin and i had to put alot of coats on it it will probably end up on the ground after block sanding anyway like the many coats of body filler i sanded away till i got it were i wanted i still need to work the small seam the come back of the door but im not going to block it till i get the doors and fenders back on

Well I got the other 1/4 on and the main body filler primed it still need some work but I want to get the doors and fenders on before I start blocking the primer and getting all my body lines straight. I ordered a AAR pin on trunk lid. I`m hoping to finish stripping the doors and fenders this week and primed next week

Been hard at work getting all my front/rear suspension parts together I bought RMS Uppers and Strut Rods and all Moog stuff and it all says made in America :thumblef:. I also received my trunk lid from Glasstek its a pin on type very light and the finish looks real smooth. Next weekend I plan to put it back on all 4s
