1965 Twin turbo 360 Barracuda with nice paint. NOT MINE

Did anyone notice that the car has a Pentastar on both front fenders?
 
No sir...Good Lord only knows what all was done to that old girl. I did notice the terrible body gaps between the door and fender and the hood and fender. Pretty piss poor alignment for such rich looking paint. They should have cleaned that up before they painted it. I love the paint and finish but that cheapens the beauty of it and all the money that man spent on the work.
 
I'd be more than happy to try to twist those body gaps back to spec via a 'engine torque vs. tire traction' matchup.
 
Wow !! someone put a lot of love into that car, did notice the body panel alignment.. still a very nice car though.
 
You do realize that those body gaps from the factory were crap… right?
Who knows why some people do what they do. They may be on purpose. That thing probably twists up pretty hard and the gaps allow doors to still open after a few “mashing of the throttles.”

I have 7 of them and none of them have body lines like that. Maybe I lucked out and just did not realize that I had. LOL

My 66’ had gaps like that and was all factory. It does not know. It took hours to get close, not perfect but close. It still wins awards with non perfect gaps.
I honestly did not look super hard at the gaps when all that engine was hanging out. Kinda like the woman in the red dress in the movie “the matrix.” I was not looking to see if her dress had wrinkles. lol.

It reminds me of that joke where the husband Harold tells his wife her boobs are too small and her hoho smells like caca. His lovely wife replied...Dag Burn It Harold get off my back... Don't feel bad I had to have a very picky mechanical engineer point it out to me as I was still enjoying the depth and color of the paint. Maybe the Quality Control Gap Police were fired after 1965. You just never know.
