Today I finished Blackblasting and varipriming the shell of a 69 Barracuda (notchback). I have been working on this 1-2 days a week now for a year and people say it doesn"t even look like a car. I have been stripping it and repairing rust and looking for parts for a year. I have a little welding and a lot of putty blending to do now. Then I have to strip and repair all the doors,hoods,and fenders. I am sure glad this a hobbie because I wont be done when I finish the body, Because I will still need to install a new Ledegendary interior, Floor to headliner. I am having the front seats done by them and replacing the rest myself.When I finally finish the Body and interior it will be time to remove the 340 and do a 451 conversion, I have everything but the 71-72 400 block, if I dont find one it will be a 440 conversion. 5 years and $10,000 from now this will rule the streets in central MN unless maybe Street Freaks Dart is still around. |

Keep up the good work!
Sometimes this hobby is tough and lonely but believe me, in the end it´s worth it all. Really! Just do something completely different for a while, and come then back to work when you feel like it, again... ;-) And yes, those people who come to see an empty body shell and tell you it doesn´t even look like a car.... well... they really do not know a thing about cars. They probably don´t even change their oil themselves. Just my 2 cents |
