Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

First pic of that funny (I mean really funny) car chassis had me thinking it was painted golden. Not so.

That 'golden' hue is disappearing and I'm getting it back to nice shiny bare steel. I'll have to make my modifications and figure out a paint scheme before I put any color on it.

My son sees no point in building a car that can't be street driven. He'd like to see me figure out a way to license it and get it on the highway. I've lost enough brain cells over the years that I'm darn near tempted to try and do it. It'd be a ***** trying to crawl in and out of it when I'm at Walmart. LOL!!


Maybe you should consider filling up those slicks a little? Sitting flat like that doesn't improve shelf life, I think.

Those slicks got slashed when the car was vandalized so keeping them inside didn't matter. I'll be needing a replacement pair when the time comes.

Oh, and a friend of mine got an infected tooth that spread to his heart valve. Six months in the hospital and a transplant valve. You have a fever?

I've already had a pair of heart attacks so I have had an ongoing concern about these sort of things. No fever but I've certainly been getting the chills out in the garage lately.
