    sand blasting

    I am on the fence on spending the money. The car is in great shape but has a fair amount of surface rust in areas that cant be reached. For the amount of mouse house stuff i pulled out of the rockers was crazy, how do people get in there and seal up those areas? I would hate to spend a bunch...

    Eye candy in the works......

    I'm guessing those are the wires to run the EFI.. Interested in your results. I have a 225 in my 64 D100 that would love to try EFI setup.

    sand blasting

    Just had my 68 quoted to be dipped. Roughly $2100 to dip just the body. Another $165-190 each for doors, fenders, hood and truck. I already have all the undercoated off the car as well. They also offer to e-coat dip the car after. Another $2100 for the car and $165 for the extras. They say...

    68 Barracuda Notchback

    Well the 64 is now done for the summer and driven most day to work. Waiting for the snow to fly to do some suspension work on it. Spent some time this weekend on the 68 getting some paint stripped off. Picked up some of the Cooper's Stripper online. Very happy with the results. Picked the...

    Reverse Y exhaust pipe for Dutra Duals?

    Sounds great, will do. The double slip fit didn't make sense to me when i first saw the design, but I'm sure they had their reasons to do it that way. I have the hydraulic 4 speed bell housing with the low starter location so I'm sure things will be different.

    Reverse Y exhaust pipe for Dutra Duals?

    Looks like they got rid of the slip fit on the back pipe and it is now welded? Looks like it fits really nice. I have a slant in my 64 D100 that i would love to upgrade the exhaust.

    68 Barracuda Notchback

    Well the last month and a half the Barracuda has been neglected.. Trying to get the 64 D100 road worthy for the summer. Pretty much re-wired the whole truck. Cleaned up the inside floor and seat and new rubber seals on almost everything. Defiantly leaning a few thing along the way that will...

    68 Barracuda Notchback

    Scored an A-Body 8-3/4 3.23 sure grip locally this weekend. Should be a nice upgrade. Came out of a 69 Barracuda S car. Not sure if i should just rebuild the drums or go disks?

    68 Barracuda Notchback

    I was looking into US Car already. Was thinking of just adding the torque boxes and not the connectors since i am only running a small block. Also didn't what to goof around with the stock brake and fuel lines. Did you blast the bottom of your car before priming? Looks really nice.

    68 Barracuda Notchback

    Started tearing the block down. Nothing alarming yet. Engine definitely has some miles on it. Got a quote to get the car dipped at Redi-Strip $4200-$4800. Not worth the money for this project.

    Well after taking a few weeks off to Deer and Pheasant hunt i am back at it.. The big project to get the engine out is now complete. It went way better then expected. The engine cart worked great, may need to make a few tweaks before everything goes back in. Mounted the front body cart...
