I'll bet while you were building it you said many times "if I did this again I would change and do it this way"! Well heres your chance. I would have to sell it. But I understand the love affair!

Yep i thought this as well. I have redone many vehicles since my first car a 68 charger. I started that ones cosmetic refurb when i was 15 years old in 1982. Drove it my senior year in high school. Each one i redid over the years, i got better and better at it. You could say i was learning at perfecting my craft. My current 67 barracuda project is the culmination of all that OCD behavior. Over the years i learned metal panel fabrication, welding, upholstery recovering, sheetmetal panel replacement, wiring, as well as going in depth in all the mechanical systems. Every car i redid seemed to get worse and worse, or was it that they were getting older, and so was i ?? LOL
The worst was the 1960 el camino i dragged out of the corner of a field in 1996. No engine, no trans, heater box was a mouse tenement. Everything that was left was fucked. I learned a lot on that car. Its where i learned panel fab, and replacement, welding, how to double flare brake lines, since i had to bend everything new. Also had to rewire it from nose to tail. About 2 weeks in and the car completely taken down to the frame i took a long look at it and went what the hell did i go and do this for. I must be a masochist. Never again i said. Low and behold after it was done and gone in 2006 i got the itch again, and in 2008 bought the 67 barracuda notch after realizing that 68 chargers werent cheap anymore. Not even for a shell. I had A bodys in the past. They were always fun cars. And were still inexpensive compared to what B bodys had become.
