My '65 Barracuda and others... *LONG POST, 56k BEWARE*
I'll start with my daily driver which I never did plan on restoring. I bought my 1991 D350 in December 2009 with plans of just using it for work and towing around the Barracuda when it was finished but like all my vehicles it has turned into an ongoing mod-fest/restoration.
I did some small things like putting new front springs on, taking off the strange fender lights and putting on OEM ones, I straight-piped the exhaust and threw some stacks on it, as well as my CB I no longer wanted in my '03.
I still have big plans for the interior, motor, exterior of the cab, and a rebuild of the flatbed. I am also wanting to repaint the truck for practice before I paint the Barracuda.
Just like I explained to my dad; you buy a vehicle not planning to do anything with it and then you find your wallet constantly empty 8)
My 1965 Barracuda is still all factory and has been sitting inside for more than 20 years. Once we get a rotisserie we will put new undercoat on the bottom of the car, rebuild the suspension (already have a set of new 3,200lb super stock leafs for it), cut the k-member for deep oil pan clearance, rebuild the 340, rebuild the automatic, repaint the car, then I will worry about interior parts later once everything else is done.
As for parts, we should definitely have enough... we have another 5 Barracudas ranging from 1964 to a 1966 Formula S sitting out back, as well as our building it's in is loaded with Mopar parts (pictures of which I will post up after work).
After the Barracuda is restored it's a toss up between what I want to work on next. I can choose between our 1977 D300 Custom...
Or our 1978 Cordoba with soft Corinthian leather (no pics currently but the interior is in almost brand new condition and the exterior just needs the light surface rust removed) or one of the other vehicles we have out here. I will have some more pics up later, my lunch break is over :bootysha:
