Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Although I haven't given up on the fuel injection I needed to take a break from it for awhile as I'm doing more research. We are getting another snow and are expecting 6 to 8 inches. I didn't want to move another car into the stall that might tie things up so I thought it'd be a good time to focus on the wood for the 'Lil Red.
The oak panels had gotten wet when they were outside and had discolored. I wasn't going to be able to stain and varnish them until I sanded them first. I began with hand sanding the first piece. Although it worked I was going to have a lot of blisters before I was done.
I called one of my buddies to borrow his belt sander. It worked great. Not only was I going to spare the wear and tear on my hands, but it was a lot faster.
Unfortunately the belt broke shortly after I finished the first side of the first plank.
There won't be any place open locally that I can get a replacement belt until Monday. I guess I'll go back to hand sanding until then.
