68 Barracuda Fastback build
Thanks a lot, glad it's seeing some appreciation :)
I've moved forward a bit on the cage with the gussets that take me a crazy amount of time to get a very tight fit and allow for better and easier welding. I'm getting to a point where my welds are somewhat ok, it's nothing close to what a pro would do or what I see some guys doing. But for a guy who picked up a torch for the first time after buying the Cuda, it's getting decent...
Little custom detail on one of the gussets on the cross which goes into the doors on the sides of the cage. The logo takes me about 90 minutes to cut and grind by hand, but I like the final result.
2 more gussets on the passenger side to do, 2 more tubes to fit between the a-pillar and the firewall to connect to the tube which will go into the engine bay, and that side will be done.
Most tubes are already cut for the driver side so hopefully next week I can start on that. The goal is to finish the cage for Xmas, and maybe finish seam welding the chassis also.
