The theme for my car will be a 340 motor the car will be white with Blue stripes like it was from the factory. Drivers quarter is the only real rust damage on the body. I got lucky

'67 notchbacks are my absolute favorite Barracudas, looks-wise. Nice car. I was looking for a '67 notchback and somehow ended up with a '67 Valiant. Go figure.
 
Update on the car we moved the leaf springs inboard like the SS springs were and are doing a 2 inch mini tub for bigger meats out back here are some new pictures.

Looks good.
Something about a notchback in project form that get me all warm and fuzzy. LOL.

Just curious, I am no body guy by any means but since you are painting it white, how's come you used such a dark colored primer, I thought that was a no, no in the paint world as I've had a couple body guys tell me to use a light colored primer for light colored car, and dark with dark or does it not really matter?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, just curious.

By the way, that orange AMX in the background is sweet, any more pics of that car?
 
cudaspaz good question I mean the car is in lighter primer now but i will ask. But my paint show has never let me down so I have faith.
 
Well good thing is we are not painting it white anymore. Here are a few more pictures of the 4 point Moly roll bar. The guys also tied the bar into the subframe connectors
