Ugly Bastard.. 67 Barracuda Notch

Been a while since I posted anything. I really thought I'd have it on the road by the end of summer but somehow it's still in the shop. Damn it! Well, spring will come around and I'll have it out by then.

I have since gotten most of the engine together, just been fighting with a stubborn dipstick tube.
Because of the B body headers, #7 tube is tight against the firewall. In order to get a mini starter in there, it needs to sneak down between #7 and #5 tubes, in a certain sequence. Can't get it from below. But the Z bar normally sits where #7 tube is. So instead of moving the tube and losing my space for the starter swap, I moved the Z bar forwards 3" or so and reclocked the arms, and fabbed a "custom" bracket off the bellhousing for the ball stud. Push the pedal, the throw out bearing moves. No binding! I know I know, I could have used a hydraulic clutch setup, but I didn't want to purchase an aftermarket kit when I had all these parts here. Plus that's too easy.
I made frame connectors from 2x3" square tubing and flat plate, and welded them in.
I also picked up a brand new TTI exhaust system for an A body, from the collectors back, in trade of wiring someone's hoist.
Headliner is in, I used an organic carpet underlay as insulation in the ceiling, cost me about $5 for a cutoff from the carpet store.
The glass is in, a friend is a glazer so he came by and installed it with new gaskets for me. I used the '68 style gaskets so I now have stainless trim installed, no more cracked plastic chrome locking strip.
It's getting there!
