Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I had bought the wood in a kit from 'BRUCE HORKEY'S WOOD & PARTS for Pickups out of Minnesota. It came with everything that I would need to finish it.





The instructions call for five coats of varnish with a minimum eight hours of dry time between coats. The work spent sanding between those coats is gonna get old.



The first few coats are thinner reduced. I started by doing the back sides first. I won't wait until they've dried to flip them over. If the bottom finish gets marred I don't care. It's not going to be a trailer queen, it's going to be a trailer puller.





The environment in the garage is too dirty so I moved this project into our basement. I cleaned everything before bringing it down. After blowing stuff off with the compressor I wiped everything with a damp rag. Prior to applying the varnish I used the tack cloth to pick up any left over dust.
