Don't blame you for getting rid of that two hander, have one on my diesel and only reason I haven't changed it out is because I completely remove it and fill with syphon, too lazy to stand over holding 5 gallons of fuel
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I might, but they are antiques if I still got'em
Well there it is, before and after picture. I'll have to look at it for a while and see if I like it. Didn't like seeing the behind the grill and trying to make it not stand out in what I did.

Let me know. Thinking they’ll work great for deer stand seats

Good idear
I like the cheap office chairs. Good supoort, swivel, and height.
And front view. Not going to hurt my feeling if you don't like it I'm on the fence at this point
I like the office chair. It will roll and spin
I say go the whole way across
I like it.
I can't the hood tapers down in the front to the latch and I haven't figured out a way to make it work going all the way across.
I like that !!! Gives me support to the grille. Those grille tabs like to break because of lack of support. That is structural and beauty.
Good job!!
Oh
Had to fix my grill on both sides because of lack of support. I think it will help.
Yea 73 0n is a bit different on the hood.

What’s not to like? They look great Fred. As always kudos on your creativity and craftsmanship! You rock!
Thanks John I'm still rough around the edges but I try.
You do what other people dream of. Rock on Fred!!
That's my buddy Fred whom I have yet to meet
Hello all! I hope that everyone’s well! It’s been a little while since we’ve posted. I just wanted to check in with a mild update: new brake hard lines and hoses are all in, new distribution blocks and vent bolt, dual master cylinder and conversion kit, all wheel cylinders honed and rebuilt, parking brake cable and hardware all removed, cleaned, lubed and reinstalled.
The engine, heads, crank and trans are all back! They have all been serviced and refreshed and are awaiting their turn for attention once we finish the suspension and brakes first with full focus on safety, then my daughter and I will begin our winter project of assembling and installing the engine and transmission.
And a huge success worth mentioning, for the first time since my dad was 19, you can now SIT safely in the Barracuda with factory seats and hardware! Wahoo! My dad removed the original seats and put in van seats, don’t ask. (And Yes I might have sat there with my oldest and imagined what it will be like to experience “spirited driving” behind the wheel… )
I’d like to give credit and thanks to everyone who’s chimed in with their experiences and those of who have offered their help in getting the build this far @cosgig @dowboy1970 @66fs @toolmanmike @RAT ROD AL @Plymouth 65 @RustyRatRod @burrpenick @Dana67Dart @Frodee @lkopaska if I missed you specifically no harm no foul, you know who you are!
Thank you everyone for your patience and guidance! Happy wrenching!
