Thank you all for the very warm welcome! Looking over my original post I noticed that I didn't even include my name. I'm Jeremy by the way and I've had this car for a short seven months but so far have accomplished a lot. Currently my dad and I are working on switching this car from a two barrel to a four barrel, but it's been too cold for much work to get done. So far we have accomplished the following things:

• Rebuilt the entire front suspension and replaced the front tires
• Sanded down and "rust proofed" the underside of the car
• Sanded off the old primer from the door back to the truck and painted it in black primer
• Had the steering box rebuilt and placed back in the car
• Fixed up and repainted the exhaust manifolds
• Started install of dual exhaust
• Removed seats for repair

Welcome aboard! looks like a very nice project and complete if not mostly complete also! How about some interior shots!! Oh how we love our car **** here! Pictures, pictures and more pictures!!!

 

[Jurrami]

Well here are the only pictures of the old seats that I took before they were shipped off to be redone.

After a long year of not updating on this site I am proud to say that my 1968 Barracuda is up and running better than ever. It has a brand new 360 motor in it, along with plenty of other new things.

Hey, that was my car in the maroon & black parked next to you at mopars in the park! You should cruise it up to my place in Inver Grove Heights sometime.

 

[Jurrami]

Hey that is awesome. I will definitely have to bring it by sometime.

 

[Jurrami]

Installed a new mirror

 

[Jurrami]

The new front fenders on the car were redone. No huge dent in the driver's side.

welcome and nice car

 

[Jurrami]

thank you everyone! This year has been a lot of fun with the car, although I haven't gotten much done with it. I am trying to decide where to begin, whether to work on the interior or reprimer the exterior along with some body work.

Lookin good! I love the wheel choice. You're probably anxious to see paint on it some day but it looks mean in that 'hotrod' primer. :happy1::happy1:

 

[Jurrami]

Slowly moving from primer to testing out the original paint that was on the car. QQ1 Electric Blue.

Very nice Brother. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I started the car last week, but this week it isn't warm enough to do as much as I would like to do with it. I realized I haven't posted any updated pictures of the interior. So here are some.
