My First Mopar: 68 Barracuda

[Staffords]

I've been lurking on this forum for a while and recently picked up my first Mopar, a pretty nice 68 Barracuda. Most of my experience is building/riding vintage Harleys, but I'm setup with a TIG welder and I've got a small lathe and mill to make/modify parts... so I can fix things as they break! Looking forward to learning from the forum and sharing my experiences. First order of business is to get this thing roadworthy by bleeding the brakes! I've started going through and finding things I'd like to fix/change/correct. Here's a picture of the car:

No, Somebody dressed it up as a 340 Formula S but it was originally a 318 car... Those hood inserts will be coming off.
