Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

Hey John,

I'd say that body latch catch isn't falling off any time soon ... Great progress! Pity you dropped your power plant but it sure was a good thing you didn't have your foot under it!

And I wouldn't be so sure there's only a few of us watching ...


Hey Anders. I get really spooked whenever I watch old footage of funnycars that have the bodies fly off at mid-track. Most of the time it's due to a blower explosion but sometimes they go airborne on their own. I doubt I'd ever rebuild if I lost the body. I was tempted to make multiple latches but decided it wouldn't be smart if I ever needed to get out of the car quick.

I was just inches away from the motor when it dropped. I had one hand on it trying to twist the direction it would sit on the ground and the other hand on the cylinder valve. It was an idiot move on my part not to have secured the top.
