Newbie 71 Barracuda East Coast
« on: April 22, 2015 - 07:05:31 PM »
I  picked up a 71 Barracuda roller "tree find".  It's going to need some work.
Started the tear down process. 

Not new to the Mopar world.  My first car, which I still have, is an original 69 Charger RT that I bought at Carlisle '84.

Total tear down, blaster, jig/table.  I've already bought some AMD sheetmetal based on initial inspection.  I need to amass a few more.
