65 barracuda

[roddin28]

ok ok -- Some of you -- and that's for sure - will think I'm crazy -- and yes a little:toothy10:
I've bought a 65 barracuda in june -- it has a good history, because all people over here in austria know the car as THE MEMORIAL. it sits by a car dealer over 30 years -- 30 years ago this car was too expensive for all the people, after the years it got bader and bader - and the owner never let it go cheap -- when I walked in he had a good day - he sold the barracuda to me (I know nobody would buy such a car - but that is it why I had to do that)
ok - here we go ---- and sorry for my bad english, I'm from austria /europe

I'm almost speechless. You must be Superman, Rainer. Welcome and thank you for sharing this story, this is a special one for FABO. WOW.

 

[grimreaper]

WOW! What an ambitious project.... but it looks like you certainly have what it takes to make it happen. I am impressed!!!!! Keep us posted.

 

[The_night_rider]

Damn you are really doing it.


That's going to clean up in no time.

 

[65 Dartman]

I am impressed!!!!!

times 2!!

 

[HemiEd]

Wow, you really tackled a tough one there. You are doing a great job. I was fortunate on the one I did for my Dad, the only rust out was the passenger floorboard from the heater core letting go.

 

[swedefish]

Incredable, It´s a long time since I saw such a skill in sheet metal working.
For how long have you been working on your Cuda?
Keep the great work up.

 

[bad440]

damn your a glutton for punishment! good work!!!!

 

[camd64]

WOW!!! I have seen some pretty rust cars saved but damn..... you have some serious skills.

 

[Keith Mopar]

WOW, you do some fantastic work Rainer. You are an inspiration to me and I think a lot of others here on FABO.

I'm going to watch your build!!!! :cheers:

welcome to FABO best Place of the world Rainer

 

[4spdcuda66]

I don't think you're a little crazy, I think you're a LOT crazy!!! My hat is off to you friend, that is some great metal work. Dig those other cars too.8)

 

[toolmanmike]

I too am speechless! When I saw the extent of the rust damage I was thinking
that parting it out wouldn't get much. You have great metal skills and I will enjoy watching your progress. Welcome to FABO. toolmanmike

 

[alex_borges_br]

I'm enjoying yout thread. Nice work.

Now I know that I'm in heaven (compared to your rust) :cheers:

 

[pishta]

That give the phrase "old world craftsmanship" huge cred! But seeing your other rides, it looks right up your alley. I just files all your pics!

Wow your metal work is amazing! I thought mine was rusty when I started but nothing like that. Keep up the good work.
