I picked up this cuda last summer from southern NJ. I found it on Ebay for 1600, its pretty bear. No motor or interior, basically a body. I have just been working on it this summer in my spare time. I got a running 318/904 a little while ago for $200.

Here is what she looked like when I got her.

nice little car. I always liked the notchbacks.
 
Wow it really looks like a solid start to a good build :thumbrig:.
A big congratulations on finding a very nice Barracuda=P~ and it's a 68 =P~

All the glass and body looks in real good shape, and all the dash looks to be all there along with console :cheers:

Enjoy the time you get to spend bringing that MoPar back to life :wav:

Thanks guys, well Im 18 just out of high school headed to Wyotech in september, so most of my money is going to school. My plan is to make it a driver, not a factory restoration or a resto-mod. I kinda just wanna get her drivable.

A good realistic goal. Good luck man! Im going to school to be an autotech as well, but over here in GA, I cant go to Wyotech, not that fortunate. =P

Theres one in Daytona! My mom lives in naples and she wants me to go there but they dont have the courses that I want. I going to take t he collision course along with their street rod and custom fab. Good luck to you.
 
today I took the grinder with the wire wheel to the front right floor pan. Its worse that I thought, Im going to replace it. I have never done a floor pan before so Im kinda excited. I patched the drivers side but that was not nearly as bad.

Did this a few weeks ago!

Nice car, I am jealous! Keep up the good work, let us know what you need. I think many of us will give you a good deal, probably better than ebay!
 
Will do Bamacuda. I removed the console and the glove box last night. Anybody want an AM radio, PM me for pics.
 
Its been a while since I posted so I have a few updates. Im getting closer to having the engine in the way it should be, Im gonna do a little shimming to get it right. Im so sick of fighting with that motor but I wont give up! I have most of the passenger floor pan out, just taking it one step at a time. I painted my hood the other day with satin black, Im going to paint the whole car like that untill I get outta school and can do a nice job. The hood looks bad *** with the chrome hood louvers on. I also figure I need to replace the trunk pan, anybody have one for sale? My Iphone is broken so I cant post an pictures untill I get a new one.
