Wow man, that is a nice stocker to see cut up, but it's your car, you can put a reversed superbird wing on the nose, and put a corvair motor in the trunk for all it matters to anybody else.
What kind of comment is that? No one said anything about cutting the car up. I know every square inch of his first project, trust me it's not cut. The driveline could be put back to stock over the course of a long weekend, if wanted.
I helped David look high & low to find the right car. Any real Formuls S cars, 340s, big blocks were strictly not on the list. This is a very basic plain 318 car. The #s matching driveline is already gone. Somewhere down the line, a previous owner did the exterior Formula S clone modifications. It has no particular historical significance other than being 41 years old. Now it's going to move on to the next stage of it's life.
Let me ask you a question. When you were building your Barracuda, did you set out to find the most worn out, rusted piece of crap that you could? I doubt it. I'm sure that you wanted as nice of a vehicle as possible. So where is the difference?
Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.
ps: I like your modified Barracuda, looks likes like you did a nice job.
