Dougs 67 Notch build
I bought this car from the woman who inherited it from her aunt, the original owner with 72K miles. I saw the car and had to have it. I pulled the fuel tank & tanked it & replaced the pickup/sending unit. Then I did the brakes all around, shocks tires ect. I was trying to get it to run right while I was building my Comet at the same time so I put the Barracuda into storage for four years while I finished my Comet. The Comet is now finished and I am starting on the Barracuda. I am now setting up my garage shop specifically for building this car so I will start with a couple photos of the setup. I have been gathering parts all summer and will continue to do so as I make the build decisions. I am starting with replacing the vinyl top and headliner which are ordered and means I have some rust repair to do at the lower rear window corners. Then I will put it up on stands and blow it apart and start the build in earnest. I imagine it will evolve over time like my Comet did but I am planning on building it basically stock with a mild build on the 273/904 combo. I like the black/red combo so I will iron out the body and paint it back close to the original red color. It is a good car to build as it is complete with no rust except at the rear window corners and all badging intact and I like the stock badging. I will try to post interesting things about the project as I go. I have a deep appreciation of this site and know that I will owe much of my success with this build to the knowledge base that is assembled here. Thanks for looking!
