Greetings from Central PA
« on: September 25, 2011 - 01:54:24 PM »
Hi all! My name is Tim and I own a 71 Barracuda. Bought it in 1976. The first car I bought with my own hard earned money. I am in the process of a restoration. It is currently on my rotis' and on its slow and expensive way back to life.  I am not a mechanic, I am not a body man, I am trying my best to do as much as I can myself. I am fortunate to have almost no rust on the car; just the typical rear quarter rust above the wheels. Its in DP primer now and ready for all the finishing of the "lines" and little imperfections.

I found this site while trying to find pictures of just exactly how the front to back fuel lines are located underneath the car. Any help would be appreciated. In all of my literature I can not seen to get a "schematic".  :clueless: I want to get all the clips/retainers correctly located.

71 Plum Crazy 340 4 speed!
I just remembered! I'm absent minded!

Welcome aboard Tim.   :wave: I'm originally from Harrisburg.   Back in about 77/78, there was a Barracuda on a car lot that I wanted.  But I couldn't afford it back then.  Can't wait to see photo's of your project.  :picture:
