Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
- Been a little while since the last post but I've kept busy on a few sideline projects.
A friend of mine had a nice COATS tire balancer but the display screen was shattered. We weren't able to find a replacement so he asked me to reproduce one for him.
I couldn't find an clear accurate image anywhere to copy so I had to use computer paint programs to create a new overlay for the new red plexiglass we would adhere it to.
In addition to that our local weld shop is planning to celebrate a 'grand re-opening' in July and wanted it's signs repainted. I had painted them over 30 years ago and they were looking pretty shabby. Originally the colors were vibrant and the lettering had an airbrushed 'chrome' effect.
LOOKING SAD:
NEW RE-DO (a little simplified):
