Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I started the day working on the hood blackouts. By themselves, I didn't care for them. Putting the 400 MAGNUM emblems on helped to make them look better though. I think that the side graphics will help even more. As soon as I'm done masking, I'll shoot them black too. I didn't get the other side drawn out yet. I'm waiting until I see how the driver's side looks first.
The rear window graphic went on very easy. I'll have to see if it stands out more once it's in direct sunlight.
I haven't stained the wood for the 'Lil Red yet. I'd had it sitting in the back of the box and it'd been rained on the other night. - Big mistake! Because it wasn't bolted down or sealed, it warped on me. I went to attach it and found that I'll have to get it to lay flat before I can work with it. The reason that I didn't seal it right away was because I waited for new bolts to arrive. I wanted to make certain all of the bolt holes lined up properly. I hate working with wood. I was totally without a clue that the wood was in danger of warping.
