Whew glad I'm not in THAT class. My class stated period correct so all the crazy priced little chit is for "those" other owners, not me. :thumbsup:

Need to run off some vinyl stickers that look like an original filter. Just wrap it around the can and it looks original.

None. Funny with the 67-69 there is not a true restoration of judges handbook.
Buddy restores Model A's to a National level.
He has a very detailed judges book complete with pictures that will tell you down to the bolt, what color, and even which direction they should point.
My car is guessing and finding someone with a nice like year car that's never been restored.
 
Although it’s hard to tell, Mom was pretty stoked to see her old friend. Birthday surprise mission accomplished!
:thumbsup:

I know what you mean. My car was pretty much original when I got it, but you just don't know what was changed over the years. Stuff was worked on. Move one thing to get to another. Maybe put something on wrong...I continue to try to get details right. A little more convincing when something the same on several cars especially if they are 'survivors' or look relatively untouched. Yet I am sure people could look at my car and not realize that EVERYTHING was apart and put back together. I don't know if I got it right. If you get down to the nuts and bolts, I guarantee it is not 100%. I would bet people look at yours and copy details. They could copy something that you have not corrected yet or don't even know about.

I agree. I found an old website detailing the restoration of a 69 Barracuda. Its been helpful.
I also have a friend with a 67 Barracuda in nice shape that has never been painted or restored. He's looked and answered lots of questions.
I'm down to the nuts and bolts. Took the hood latch, secondary latch, spring, trunk striker plate and all the bolts off.
Taking those with a couple other things to include the jack stand shaft and gas filler tube to get re-zinc'd.
Most of those over the years were painted body color.
I'm sure they were worn down and painting them was the easy solution.
