Yeah, I haven't been on here much. Just to busy at the shop right now. I haven't touched my car since my last post in March. I was really hoping to have it up and running by summer. But that just didn't happen.

Guess in a way its way better than it being dead at your shop and you getting a ton done!lol. Shows that your shop does good work being that most hit rod shops are gone. I've actually been doing more side work(body and paint) than I ever have even though its hotter than hell here in nor cal. Take care man.
 
This is my 64 barracuda has original 273, currently waiting for snorkle hood scoop, slapper bars and some fun at cruise nights.

She is in the shop getting some finishing touches, so I only have a couple pics till later this week..
 
Just a solid, honest old lady car that I picked up in Seattle last week. This was basic motoring the year I turned 13. 225 slant six, three-on-the-tree, manual everything, and zero rust. I guess I felt compelled to buy something, after a deal on a cream puff '62 Signet, also in Seattle, couldn't be reached. I'm liking this thing, the more I drive it. Probably helps that my 17 year-old son calls it "chill".

Mostly original paint but the left side has been badly redone, so that the primer is showing through. To disguise the worst blemishes, I've been applying "tatoos", of which the boy also approves. Practically everyone else I meet says I should load it up with a 340 and a four-speed but that's nonsense. This car is adequate in every way and I'm not going to be the one to mess with it, except with a little enamel paint and a fine brush.

Thats a 67 Valiant, this thread is specifically for the 66 and older a-bodies. Still cool car though!
 

Finally got some new pictures after the total mechanical rebuild and new paint, plus the upgrade to Signet side trim, 8-34" rear, disk brakes, and 14" Rallye wheels.
