'68 Barracuda Formula S Fastback Restoration Background

During the short drive on city streets, I felt the car lacked power, but you can never have enough power, so I have to be satisfied with what I have. But then i remembered that I am running 2.94's in the rear so that I can drive the car at current freeway speeds (without an overdrive). Those gears are no fun for acceleration, so I look forward to getting the 'Cuda out on the highway.

The seats are '73 Dart Sport highback buckets and had collapsed foam for may years. When I had them rebuilt, this raised the seat height at least 2" and my head touched the roof. Dave Bond is 3" taller than me, so we worked together on lowering and moving the seat back further for both head and leg room. Mission accomplished. The original seats had 2" risers that moved the seats back 2" as well. Worked then. But now with the seats rebuilt, the 2" riser had to go. Dave designed a wonderful track relocation bracker that kept the original mounting pointes (no new holes in the floor) but moved the seat back as needed. then risers in the front tilted the seat enough to be comfortable. Thanks Dave!
