krazed that is one good looking barracuda do you have any more pictures?
Yep. Social D and Misfits too.
Something like this maybe?
I never posted a project log, but that was taken before I even re-did everything.
I have a nice long list of mods done, and waiting to be done still, but all on a budget.
Krazed your barracuda looks awesome. Show us a list of current and future mods.
Come bring it down to So Cal with all the other Mopar handling and pro touring cars for the Spring Fling Speed Festival May 1, 2008.
Anyone else interested????
i am thinking about it this year steve. now that i have sway bars,(yeah!). i have to bust my *** to finish the car by then.
I really like the pro touring look also. I have a 75 Dart that I am either wanting to do as pro touring or as a 70's "Trans Am" look, lowered down on some panasports possibly, front spoiler............whata you think?
Sounds cool.
Like a what if:
1975 Dart T/A....BTW The panasports are two piece bolted rims and the screws deter from the original minilite look. They do still make 15x7 and 15x8 minilites. Also PS Engineering makes minilites and they look really awesome. But not cheap.
- Front discountinued MP spoiler
- Rear discountinued MP spoiler
- grafted on 70 T/A Challenger hood scoop or a dual snorkle mid 70's A-body scoop
- rallye A-body mirrors in body color paint
- grafted in Challenger flip top gas cap.
EXACTLY my idea! just wondering how it would look with that long trunk on the dart. American racing also makes a minilite look. what width wheels did they run on the T/A cars in the day? also like the side exit exhaust on them. will have to start a Trans Am thread. sorry to highjack this one for a second. d
I have lots of pics but they're not digital - yet. I'm way behind the times in that regard. The only critical measurement is centering the cross member. You just have to make sure that the new lower A-arm is basically in the same place in regard to the frame rails as the original lower conrol arm. Once that's done everything else follows. Before removing the original suspension just scribe a line from the center of the lower conrol arm to the frame rail then center the new cross member to that line. You'll also have to fab new motor mounts.
Big brakes, wheels and tires with almost even tire size (width) from front to back. Upgraded handling, possibly lowered a bit. Lots of power and a lot of guys go the centrifugal supercharging route with fuel injection. Comfy seats and a highway rear gear. Clean exterior styling. Here's an example of a Charger done in the protouring style: http://www.lateral-g.net/members/musto/
Did I miss anything? Let me know.
