1965 Barracuda- Restomod
Well, I am getting ready to finish the slave cylinder set up. I havent been to see my car in a few weeks and I am getting more and more antsy. Plus here in Nevada the weather is annoying. :munky2:
So I started creating more and more drawings in the computer at work, mostly paint schemes and how I want the console to look. I have been working really hard on the Fuel caps, the painting went south for me and produced a negative effect. So I am going to scrap the idea of paint, I'll strip the paint off the caps, re-polish the chrome and repaint the cap back to the factory look.
Now, I am starting to shift my plans over to the body aspects of the car. While I realize I haven't finished my current task, and I shouldn't be jumping from one thing to another, I am.
I have an idea in my head of where I want to take this car.
I want something different. Many people I tell about the car give me that glazed over look, or say, "When I was a teen back in '68 I drove a Barracuda, but in my day we called them back-arudas!"
When I first owned the car, a buddy and I were looking it over and agreed that the rear of the Barracuda was one of the coolest looking we had seen, but the front was just, too soft. Not fearsome.
The direction I am moving into with the body mods is into to the look of just a beast. I am trying to find a '68-'69 Charger hood. I want to graft the indentations from that hood onto my Barracuda. The stock '65 hood was too station wagon for me. It was just, there.
I am going for this style. The new grill is going to add a degree of attitude this car and I figure a station wagon hood would just detract from it.
