Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
It's been awhile since I had anything new to post. For the most part it's been the same old drudgery of Winter blues. With the cold weather I avoided the garage, - especially after contracting a very nasty flu bug that held on for weeks. The warmer weather we've been having has melted off most of our snow but we've still got a small drift about a foot tall in front of the garage.
In an effort to stay busy I continued on with the pinball machine & movie theater projects and have pretty much completed them. I guess it'll be good not to have them hanging over my head with Springtime approaching.
I changed the black machine body to orange because it just didn't look festive enough.
I modified the back glass image by using a GTO instead of the silver Dodge.
I decided to paint the table legs in a checkerboard pattern.
Over all, I don't think it turned out too bad. I definitely like the looks of the machine better with the mods than I did when it was in it's beat up original condition.
We did manage to get the Hemi ordered from Keith Black and are hoping to see it shipped by July. That should give us enough time to get some other work done on the car but my son's still uncommitted on some of the components such as transmission. He'd rebuilt the A833 and was planning on using it with a Gear Vendors overdrive but now isn't sure.
There's a big swap meet coming up this next Sunday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Part of me would like to skip it but the other part of me worries that I'll miss out on crap I never even knew I needed!
