wow. If mine was in that state, I'd consider it done, and enjoy it. Wait. I'm deluding myself. I'd probably do what you're doing, and re-doing it again. I just wouldn't have tried to sell it. That's a REAL nice car.

Any pics of fastback trunk firewalls would be appreciated. I'm having trouble visualizing a firewall that seals all the way across and still allows me to use the stock hinges for the trunk lid

In the previous photo, the cell is upside down. And don't worry. A .050 aluminum firewall is going in between the trunk and the rest of the car. Also, the steel strap hold-down kit is going in too. As long as I put such a huge-a$$ hole in the tank, the foam came out, and I'm going to put...

Aaaaaand, I almost forgot. The front wall of the cell had to change shape if the plywood door to the passenger compartment is going back in.

Here's a center rear sump starting.

Not really, and right side sumps only work in NASCAR.

It might fit, right?

My car is a project that has no defined end state, so it's turning into some Frankenstein in-between sort of ride. Case in point : I wanted 3" exhaust out the back in order to license it for the street. There isn't enough room for that and the stock gas tank. so the trunk mount battery will...

This is some genius level fabrication. I wish I had the energy level just to consider doing half this stuff.

The following is what I posted at Painless Wiring's help forum. While I'm waiting for them to get back w/ me, I'm wondering if there's anyone here with some ideas. Hi all, It needs to be said that I've been working on installing this harness p/n-10127 on and off (mostly off) since July...

I've got 3 '69 basket case fish. I'm feeling my motivation again watching this

And I'll try to change the mindset, but I'm not promising anything

***sigh**** I seem to have a talent for offending people. I learned to do bodywork because 20 years ago I paid a shop big money and got a scamp back that had 55 gallons of bondo over the new 1/2 quarters I took to them. and yes, the car had waves. Further, it does make for a short conversation...

Just used the plastic to buy the Eastwood welding setup. It looked like I was going to pay. Out the wazoo for a body shop to fix the ragtop. I might as well come out the other side with some new toys, and I never got it when somebody paid to do a car and then took it to a show

try again

no current pics of the blue barracuda, but here's some of the hemi:

And in the interest of full disclosure, this car has A LOT of rot. The frame rails at the rear axle kickover (and other areas) have been EXTENSIVELY patched, with homegrown versions of what Auto Rust Technicians will sell you. Done well, but obviously done. The floor pan, rockers...

It was a Navy Nuke who sold it to me, and it's trailered because I haven't had it licensed it yet.

From a co-worker who wanted it to go to a good home

Cost $2k, and I got $2k of year one metal. Just need time. Runs and was licensed when I bought it last November

You're right about the 110 mig, it is the best for sheet metal, it's just that it dates from 1994, and it may or may not have a lot of life left in it. I've always wanted one of those big miller units that can be used for everything, including tig. That would be the benefit for me, to come out...

My iPhone didn't refresh and while I typed out my reply, I got more than the original single reply

I kind of got that. What I'm asking, since I have to dig the car out of storage, put it on my trailer, drag it to the shop, there's some numbers in my head that are going to have an effect on what I do. The shop is supposed to only do the fitting and welding. I take it in, and they say...

I need help. (mental) If somebody gives me a HUUUUUGE price for something I want to buy, I initially balk. If I have an idea about what it costs, and I can roll it around in my head for a while, then the price seems more reasonable when I hear it. Here's my latest purchase: a 1969 318...

I'll keep you in mind, but I'm not currently looking forward to driving across IL to get there. I might have to change my mind if I don't get a warm fuzzy about anyone closer.

just brought home a 1969 barracuda v8 ragtop. Starting to realize the mandatory overtime at work is going to cut into the rust repair this thing needs. (rear quarters, trunk floor, floor pan, rockers. ) Need a reputable shop in stl

couldn't find attachment on your post, but thanks for replying. found chart on year one's site.

for a 4:10 rear gear - anybody an expert on this?

Cap and rotor. Fixed.

OK. Put the new tranny and stall in the Hemi Barracuda, and drove it around. Going about 15 mph, pulled the shifter back into 1st, and got on it,(not very hard), got into second, never got over 4000 rpm, and then it starts misfiring like it's got a bad vac leak. Now refuses to idle, and...
