Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
- Still working on the tunnel. After transferring the templates onto the metal I went ahead and cut the two pieces. It wasn't difficult to get the paper to conform to the floor. The steel is fighting me. I did my best to bend it in the general shape and have been tweaking it further as I tack it in place. In some areas I intentionally left excess material to allow for stretch and to give me places to clamp.
Without a brake, an English wheel, a sheet metal roller or even a decent anvil, I've been relying on a section of train rail and hammers. It's all looking pretty crude so far but after I get it fitting the floor the way I want - I'll cut my tacks, remove the pieces. and and smooth the metal out as best I can.
