Nice drive home sounds promising. Hope its nothing serious.
Still rooting for you and your cuda.
I got an ugly barracuda myself I should pull out of hibernation and make it road worthy.
It cost so much to make em pretty these days. May as well enjoy the car as she looks now.
I like what your doing. Keep er going.
 
one day when the weather is in the 60's, take some 80 grit sand paper and get a qt of Ospho for like $10. take a fender, hood, clean that surface rust with the paper, wipe off the dust and wipe it down with a good wet rage soaked with that Osho, it is a phosphoric acid solution and it will neutralize and clean the rust, it will leave a whitish resisdue, but that is O K.

I think you will be happy with the results, the rust will still have a "patina" but it will also be stabilized , and will take on a different look too.

if you love the car, don't give up on her too quick.

Ya evey one tells me what i should do with the car now that we got brakes and a carb on it . Keep in mind yall thats all we did . To drive this car evey one was wanting me to part out lmao . Dont get me wrong its got 50 year old car bugs . But it runs and drives lol . I aint going any where fast . But with alttile money i could make her right and take her any where . But the moeny aint there so i just drive her aound town . Any one want to have my trans redone ? I will even take it on a road trip after that . I just dont trust it lol . O:)
 
this is so awesome ....now I am glad I voted 5 stars on this thread.

The pics of going through a back road with a mopar are priceless.

I didn't actually think you would ever get to this point but I am sure glad you did.

Rock on man.

You are actually making early A's look cool, I am starting to like the look of the dash. I never paid attention to anything before 68 before but this is getting cool.
 
this thread proves to the" un believers" that driving a slant A body can put a BIG grin on a face!!!!

I enjoy working on them, seeing my effort make it better, a sense of accomplishment, .... BUT driving it down the road is what really makes me happy!!! and no it does not necessarily have to have a big honking V8 in it !! so many people are missing out on this!!!!!??
 
Good to see you now trust her out of town for a stretch.
Out there in gods country you can hear her tell you if she's needing anything.
Very happy for you and rattacuda. Looks like your getting along well.
