    So this guy takes a '70 340 4 spd Barracuda "perfect one to cut up" and creates this thing with a 2010 6.7 Cummins Diesel, 1500 rwhp, 2500 lb tq.

    Seen it at the MATS. Not my cup of tea but it looked like good workmanship.

    Lots of work and man hours put in to this one . 10 /10 for engineering and body work . I know  it was olny just  a factory 340  cuda and not a big dollar car that was cut up To make this beautiful machine .But it still makes me sad . But never the less you done a great job .

    It looks like clear over primer to me, I don't like it.
    Lots of custom work but there is a point where too much is too much

    Agreed, ick on the color choice.
    The car, to me is still searching for an identity and or purpose.
    As for the build, it is a classic example of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

    Mechanical and fabrication quality appears to be there.
    Overall impression on the sum of all the parts. MEH...

    Eh, not my cup of tea. I bet it really struggles to put that power to the ground, it needs an AWD system or a very significant rear tire to actually get anywhere...I suspect.

     :iagree: RUINED a nice 340 `cuda just to be different? What a waste. Pretty much hate everything about it, hood, color etc.
