I'll start with my daily driver which I never did plan on restoring. I bought my 1991 D350 in December 2009 with plans of just using it for work and towing around the Barracuda when it was finished but like all my vehicles it has turned into an ongoing mod-fest/restoration.

I did some small things like putting new front springs on, taking off the strange fender lights and putting on OEM ones, I straight-piped the exhaust and threw some stacks on it, as well as my CB I no longer wanted in my '03.

I still have big plans for the interior, motor, exterior of the cab, and a rebuild of the flatbed. I am also wanting to repaint the truck for practice before I paint the Barracuda.

Just like I explained to my dad; you buy a vehicle not planning to do anything with it and then you find your wallet constantly empty 8)

My 1965 Barracuda is still all factory and has been sitting inside for more than 20 years. Once we get a rotisserie we will put new undercoat on the bottom of the car, rebuild the suspension (already have a set of new 3,200lb super stock leafs for it), cut the k-member for deep oil pan clearance, rebuild the 340, rebuild the automatic, repaint the car, then I will worry about interior parts later once everything else is done.

As for parts, we should definitely have enough... we have another 5 Barracudas ranging from 1964 to a 1966 Formula S sitting out back, as well as our building it's in is loaded with Mopar parts (pictures of which I will post up after work).

After the Barracuda is restored it's a toss up between what I want to work on next. I can choose between our 1977 D300 Custom...

Or our 1978 Cordoba with soft Corinthian leather (no pics currently but the interior is in almost brand new condition and the exterior just needs the light surface rust removed) or one of the other vehicles we have out here. I will have some more pics up later, my lunch break is over :bootysha:
 
i need tail lights lenses and good backup light lenses since you have xtra b-cudas maybe u might want to part with them. willing 2 buy them from u

The cars are not mine, they belong to my dad so I'm not sure if he is up to selling parts.

As promised, some pics of just some things we have "laying around".

The tunnel ram for sure is going to get put on the 340 going in the Barracuda.
 
nice 65 cuda mine is a formula s 65 . I had a 66 for many years drag raced it until an old man pulled out of his driveway and crunched me. If you have some spare parts I am looking for rear wheel chrome and interior door panels. Mine is blue with black interior. Where are you located? I am in Maryland near Solomons Island. I have new rebuilt 318 in mine. In process of converting driveshaft then back on the road again!
 
Bumping this topic back from the dead, we received our 3,200lb super stock leafs not too long ago and are trying to find a rotisserie so we can get started! We're also moving one of our two-post lifts from the main shop to the extra building so we have a place to do regular maintenance work.
