Picture Time !!!!
Although everyone had a snicker when it rolled in on the trailer, once I had it in the lot and they started looking at it the general opinion was " hey....it's ALL there. Not bad, just UGLY!" Yeah...it's all there. Just gotta make it pretty.
As for the time-line, I'm hopeful. When I stopped out in August they had a `68 Barracuda `vert and a `69 Charger in the midst of body panel repairs. The B`cuda `vert is finished and back home and they were just finishing up the Charger, which should go home next week. My car goes to media blast in 2 weeks along with a `71 Demon.
As for the game plan, it will be the original LL1 Surf Turquiose with a black bench seat interior. The drivetrain is a 360 - 4 spd. - 4:10 SG. Steel wheels painted to match the car and black center Plymouth dog dish caps round it out, pun intended. Here's the motor:
Engine is a .030 over 360 with a Comp Cams .488/.491 hydraulic job w/ Crane 1.5 roller rockers. Edelbrock heads and all ARP studs holding it together. I have a Centerforce clutch and a Lakewood shield. A set of ceramic coated TTI's are on my shopping list. I have a complete 2 1/2" exhaust system with 2 chamber Flowmasters. Oh yeah... I got a buncha carbs bolted to the top of it all :twisted:
