68 Barracuda 225 to 440 to 426
A LOT OF NEW CHROME!
I finally finished the front grills. I disassembled all the grills, I drilled out all the tube rivets. I sent out all the Aluminum grills surrounds and headlight buckets to be triple plated chrome. Had all the brackets powder coated. The inner plastic grill inserts, I sent them out and had them triple plated the plastic. The inner grill surround pop metal I also send out and triple plated. Triple plated the parking bezels, NOS lenses and cleaned up the parking light housing. Reassembled of the surrounds with tube rivets is a lot of work. Paint the inner part silver. (That was not easy finding the correct silver and texture). Everyone That makes grill paint says the have the correct formula, WRONG! I ended up making my own, matching my NOS grills and comparing them to my unrestored 68 Barracuda. S pinstripe the black around the grills. Finished assembling the the rest of it.
