Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I know I should be concentrating on other work I need to do but I got the itch to mess with the funnycar yesterday.
- Just a quick reminder about the car. It came with a weird chassis built by a shop in Lincoln, Nebraska. The previous owner had wanted to set the thing up as a 2-seater so the chassis guys made it wide. All of the welding was tig except for the 2 hoops that went over the passengers. My guess is that someone else (probably the previous owner) welded those in place. Not only were they poorly welded but they were too tall to accommodate the body.
I whacked them off yesterday and placed the shell over the frame. No provision had ever been made to mate the body hinges to the chassis yet so that will be one of my next steps. Once it's sitting all together I can scope out what modifications will be needed to create a proper cage.
