I need a vacation...
I noticed on a couple of the drag cars that the front valance was filled in, sort of a 'bumper delete' type valance. Anyone know where I could buy one of those??

Where is that wrench I just had in my hand?
I like the early Barracudas too.

I think it looks pretty amazing too. I wonder if he is gonna continue the stripe down the valence below the bumper where the license plate would sort of hang?
I don't believe anyone makes a kit or "delete" for that. I think those are all just made out of sheet metal and installed to lighten the car and remove breakable parts without leaving gaping holes.

im not sure, but it just looks like the center of the factory valance was filled in with metal to cover up the opening...
i hope so, that would really finish it off...

Not a Formula S, fender emblems came when fenders were replaced. 180 hp 273, auto, power steering, a/c (not working.) Repainted 3 yrs ago after a fender-bender. I had the big rear window tinted with a semi-reflective film similar to what you see on older Lexus SUV's. I wasn't sure how it would look but I like it.

Looks good, do you have a picture from the backside of the tinting? The guy who installed the tint would really have to know what he was doing to get the curvature of the window right.

Thanks. It was done in three sections. The center part and two on either side. A member of the Early Valiant and Barracuda site had his done this way. The tint guy swore he could do it in one piece, ended up wasting a lot of material. I tried to tell him...but yes he did a good job.

Too many projects
Here are some from car shows I've attended over the years.

The yellow 66 belonged to my brother in law, he sold it in 04. The guy who bought it black powder coated all the chrome that took years to find and wheels then called back 3 months later wanting to sell it back.

Heres our '65 Barracuda project
Its an original Commando 273, 4 speed, car but its NOT a Formula-S car!!! We have the fender tag & build sheet to prove it. About as cheap as you can get so we know its sole intention was to :burnout: lol! It still has the original, running drive train in it too!! It even has the factory hp 273 single exhaust with the original resonator on it. It sounds so sweet!! Right now its sitting with out the engine/trans in it cause it needs a clutch. :banghead:

That sure is a beautiful, clean original fish. Looks like someone has always loved it.

You beat me to it with pics, but here it is again.....just now it's sitting in my driveway. Drove it home today and had a great time doing so...it's amazing how friendly people are when you're driving a beautiful old vehicle, always smiling, asking questions, gawking, and giving you thumbs up.
