67 Barracuda rolling resto
Slow progress but getting back into it. While I was waiting for the engine machine work to be done I got sidetracked and decided to take care of some planned modifications of my Jeep. Made a new roof rack with LED lights integrated into the structure to prevent removal by trail trees. Then I moved on to cleaning up the steering and suspension parts. All the steering/suspension wear parts were replaced about 3K miles ago so they're just getting cleaned and painted. Still have more parts to clean and paint. I ordered the Firm Feel K frame kit, LCA stiffener plates, and a sway bar kit. Should be arriving this week. Got the engine block back from the machine shop, bored .040 and crank turned .020. I just bought the engine rebuild parts package through them for convenience and cost, KB hyper pistons, and Scat rods. The new rods were only $30 over reconditioning my old ones. Going to put concrete in the shop this summer, so
I plan on focusing on the front end refurbish so I can at least roll it out of the shop in the spring if I dont get the engine done. I also picked up a slightly used 4 post Challenger lift for $1000 that will make life easier next winter after the concrete is done.
