Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

364 days out of the year I focus on projects that benefit myself. - Or I sleep. But there's usually one day each year when I figure I should fulfill some civic duty by doing something charitable. Last year I petted a stray dog.

In an effort to increase my civic cred I agreed to donate time making signs for the local historical museum. :BangHead: Obviously I shouldn't have gone off my meds.

I started by mocking up a design on my computer with the built in paint program. After playing around with a few different layouts I showed one to the museum committee and they approved it.

A few days later I had two 3' X 5' sheets of aluminum to work with. I set one in front of the basement movie projector and projected the image onto it. Using a pencil I transferred the design onto the panel.

I no longer have any of my good sword brushed so I picked up a variety pack of camel hair from ACE Hardware - they'll have to do. I'll put some sandstone color down first, - followed by red and then the black.

The UPS man dropped off the K-member from Denny as I was painting. As soon as I unpacked it I checked to make sure the plastic Hemi block lined up properly with the mounts. - Everything looks good so far. I'm still waiting for the new bellhousing to arrive. With the sign project in full swing I'll wait to install the K-member until later.
