GarBear: I would like to message you but I forgot how to empty my inbox.

Selling my 1967 Barracuda. Asking $20,000. Build thread is on here: Dougs 67 Notch build Located in Moses Lake 98837. Reason for selling is my age and the fact that I am 70% through another build that I need to finish. Car is stored in winter and my daily driver May to October. Below are a few...

Some summer work on my current build-------

Hey FABO, I need input from the body and paint guys. I have my current build assembled, gapped and panel matched for final priming and blocking. I spent over 50 hours installing and adjusting everything to get it close enough. I will be shooting color in a couple weeks then be ready to assemble...

Random photos of my current build. Installing the panels for gap and body line matching.

Didn't read the whole thing but more than I needed to. I will just say that I installed a O2 wideband logger with a vacuum gauge in my 67 notch in a custom gauge cluster above the console. I was an early adopter of the AVS2 and having the wideband allowed me to tune my engine to the car. I wont...

Couple random photos, have final blocking primer on the unibody and the doors. Installed the doors to gap and match the lines. I have a little more adjustment to do on the doors, thinking about fitting and matching the fenders. This car is nothing but flat panels and body lines.

Here are a couple of photos of the change of my dash color from red to gray on my current build. First photo is the dash in primer. The other two are the dash in finish color.

A couple random photos of my current build. Car is on a rotisserie and I have finished the third blocking and have the fourth coat of primer on ready for additional blocking. The second photo is the dynamat install from the front firewall to the rear firewall.

Went hunting and gathering last weekend. The photos are a sequence of events harvesting and preserving Razor Clams.

A trip to the ocean to buy and process Dungeness crab live off the boat.

Photos of the package tray seal and mock up for rear speakers. Rear firewall is set up with Dynamat on the passenger side and closed cell foam on the trunk side.

For my hobby I'm open to anything obscure between 1949 and 1972. No Camero, Chevelle or Mustang though. Building my last build now, a 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone. My 67 Notch is my DD, in storage until warmer climes prevail. My family rigs are my 2013 Black Diamond Avalanche and my wife's 2015...

It scares the hell out of me. The borg are here and resistance is futile-----------------

That is the same product I used on my current build after taking the entire car down to bare metal. I followed with urethane primer and will use the PPG sealer just before spraying the color.

I put 71 E body buckets in my 67 notch. I like them.

I had to change the floorpan in my current build so I saved the 4 speed backer, rewelded it to the new floorpan with 1/4" nuts welded to the backer. I was able to save the original 4 speed hump so I refurbished it and installed i with 1/4" SS machine screws. Below is the process-----

I put some dynamat in the roof of my current build while on the rotisserie.

Remodel 3pt. seat belts in my current build. Installed attachment point above headliner location. I had to modify my Barracuda for the 3pt. belts after the headliner was in-bummer but done now.

Battery relocate in my current build. Battery in the trunk and 2 cables routed to engine bay for install on starter and starter mount bolt.

The pendulum swings both ways. For myself I am glad for all the events good and bad that happened to me. It is all foundational background that makes us who we are today and I certainly have no complaints. I just completed my first six months of retirement and I find more joy every day. Being a...

After many years of Christmases, it is hard to know what to get the wife. I think I got it right this year though with some swag of her (and my) favorite college basketball team. He who ignores the wife's gift at christmas does so at their own peril!

Very true DB 318. Since 1971 when Nixon unhinged the dollar from the price of metals the dollar has been a Fiat Currency as well. The Chinese wanted to be paid in gold/silver so Nixon decoupled the dollar from being a "silver certificate" and let it float. The only value the dollar has now is in...

Bitcoin is a "fiat currency" which means it has no real value other than the perception that it does have value. It is strings of 1's and 0's in the cloud and was made up by some fairly imaginative people. By advocates saying it has value, some folks believe it. I am a metals guy myself and in...

I worked in agriculture my whole life and it is a 50/70 hour a week job about 8 months a year. It didn't hurt me and I retired late in life about 6 months ago. Now I really enjoy my time and no more stress. As the sales Manager for our company, I was responsible for screening, hiring and...

I see how it can take that long. Those shops are providing "best of show" quality paint finishes. That requires cure and shrink time between steps. And the time spent blocking and priming could be hundreds of hours. It could take 2 weeks from the time they start to apply color another 2 weeks...

Brand doesn't matter to me. Cool is cool. I'm driving my 67 notch while I bring my 65 Comet Cyclone back from the edge. It's still on the rotisserie but I have all the parts and paint bought for it an safely stored. Damn PPG concept went up in price about triple since I last painted my notch...

Great story; thanks for sharing! You and the Mrs. are awesome parents.
