I bet it was stunning new.
I don't know why people painted cars in the 80s and very poorly.
One of my 72 demons was B1 sky blue and someone painted it dark brown and it looks horrible.
My new 66 fury was painted forest green when it was originally turbine bronze met. Again, not a very good paint job was done.
Did you order pre-bent lines and a safety switch/distribution block from one of the repop companies?
Hopefully like this
LOL. My '68 Barracuda was a dark blue that came off on anything that touched it.
For many it was probably the same reason people do stuff like that today. They hear an advert for a low buck improvement that will make their old _____________ like new. Wait, its even better than new.
So is that KK1 for a paint code??
This one was taped and sprayed. Going to be fun sanding this one down

Nice! He sell the engine yet?
Yeahhh I ordered the steel lines from Summit, and they are here. But I ordered 3 brake hoses from my local supplier, and they have yet, to get the rear hose to me, been 5 days... I'm using a longer hose that i identified, online , for the rear since the tailpipe was put in the way of an original, shorter hose, that rubbed the pipe...
Hey Mitch you still have that early slant exhaust?
I actually really like that color. Problem is so does the wife!
That is so sweet.
Like a tad darker than the 1969 QQ1.
I really like the color your car was
Actually , I disassembled the distribution block, and cleaned , and reinstalled all the components, Couple a springs, 2 pistons, and a push rod.
Gave it to Keefer
Very nice Hops, glad you picked it up, don't hate on the folks back in the 80'es that enjoyed these old mopars back in the day, I am sure if we all was in there shoes wearing bell bottoms and jacking them up in the rear with over size wheels and tires and rebelling as we was 16 to 18 years old
It was a good time in life , have fun and enjoy being creative 
Love your Barracuda my friend 
I hate when stuff like that happens.Yeahhh I ordered the steel lines from Summit, and they are here.

The tailpipe business is simiular with old houses too. Some alteration or 'improvement' that now I have to work around or open up another project which people generally don't want.
Think the last time this was on the road was 79. Yup wore bell bottoms for 8 years (USN)
You must have bumped your head, and backread......LOL............Nice! He sell the engine yet?
Still have to find a place to stash those extra rear windows. Hate to toss them they are all date coded 64.
And thank you RayThink the last time this was on the road was 79. Yup wore bell bottoms for 8 years (USN)
Man I was done with bell bottoms early 70s when I discovered how they don't mix well with riding a bicycle.
Was quite surprised to see them make a comeback in the early to mid 90s. My friend was working a bicycle shop and had to 'splain this issue to many a customer so they would be forwarned...lol
