Took the Barracuda down to the beach yesterday and today. No pictures of the car but check out these kites!! I can't guess how long the high was must be. First time I've seen a cow fly!!!

Gotta love those Weld wheels! :thumbsup:
A great find on Marketplace!! They are sooo much lighter than the wheels that came on the car!!

Getting the lug nuts ordered today along with new center caps... the ones that came with these wheels were a little beat up. New brake drums arrived yesterday.
 
I finally got around to making a show card sign for my Barracuda. Reverse printed and mounted to the back side of clear acrylic. Still planning to frame it.

Did some work over the last few days to my "Day-2" themed '75 Duster. I installed a period correct Holley Streetmaster intake, rebuilt the 600 Edelbrock carb and installed my new custom license plates. Plans tomorrow are to finish connecting up the cooling system and then road test the jet/metering rod changes I did during the rebuild.

It was 60° in Topeka today, and it will be 69° tomorrow. I drove my car to a muffler shop to get a quote on having new mufflers installed, and then I ran some errands at a few different places. There’s a place here called Hogan‘s Muffler and Brake. Are really good working on old cars. They also do complete suspension work. They have a guy that knows Mopar‘s like the back of his hand. They probably work on more old cars than anybody else in town. It is the only place in town I trust to take my car for things I can’t do myself. And I am not laying on my back in the driveway with my car and jackstands, putting in mufflers and aligning the tailpipes. It was the first day I have driven my car in quite a while. It was amazing.

I like the engine picture. The intake look looks extra nice.
 
Nothing, I got some debris in my eye the other day while fixing the rusty frame on my van. It was really bad, and to add insult to injury, my HVAC system which I was hoping would last until the spring gave out Mon noght as well. It was $8800 to replace so my car budget needs some serious replacement as well.

Did you have safety glasses/goggles on? I never crawl under a car, or grind or cut metal without goggle or my prescription safety glasses. We all need to be careful.
 
Going to pick up my Wilwood disc brake conversion kit today... and the remaining of my Lugnuts. I guess I need a master cylinder to order next

Are you going to run 4 or 6 pistons on the front? I’m currently running the 6 pistons but a change in wheel size this Spring will necessitate a change to 4 pistons.
