Stop in for a cup of coffee
Hello all! I hope that everyone’s well! It’s been a little while since we’ve posted. I just wanted to check in with a mild update: new brake hard lines and hoses are all in, new distribution blocks and vent bolt, dual master cylinder and conversion kit, all wheel cylinders honed and rebuilt, parking brake cable and hardware all removed, cleaned, lubed and reinstalled.
The engine, heads, crank and trans are all back! They have all been serviced and refreshed and are awaiting their turn for attention once we finish the suspension and brakes first with full focus on safety, then my daughter and I will begin our winter project of assembling and installing the engine and transmission.
And a huge success worth mentioning, for the first time since my dad was 19, you can now SIT safely in the Barracuda with factory seats and hardware! Wahoo! My dad removed the original seats and put in van seats, don’t ask. (And Yes I might have sat there with my oldest and imagined what it will be like to experience “spirited driving” behind the wheel… )
I’d like to give credit and thanks to everyone who’s chimed in with their experiences and those of who have offered their help in getting the build this far @cosgig @dowboy1970 @66fs @toolmanmike @RAT ROD AL @Plymouth 65 @RustyRatRod @burrpenick @Dana67Dart @Frodee @lkopaska if I missed you specifically no harm no foul, you know who you are!
Thank you everyone for your patience and guidance! Happy wrenching!
