Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Even if I'm making Halloween preps and trying to get some cleaning done, I'm still trying to get work done on the cars when I can. This next tombstone design will read:

APRIL 1 1964

The Duster has always had a lot of flaws. Most of them could be taken care of with more detailing. I'm trying to keep from spending too much on the car because it's a race car and they don't usually command a lot of money when it comes time to sell. The silver paint around the tail light lenses had been sun baked over the years and was looking pretty sad. - So I pulled the light assemblies out of the car. I thought I'd try to stay with the 'gold' theme as much as possible on the details. The foam trunk seals weren't in the best shape. I left them on the lenses to aid in masking. After a few more coats of paint I'll strip the old foam off and replace it with new.
