1970 BARRACUDA TRANSFORMATION......CANADIAN CAR
« on: September 19, 2015 - 11:51:16 AM »
I sold my 70 Grand Coupe as a rolling chassis the first week of July/15 and immediately went through withdrawals and sellers remorse. After contemplating throwing 29yrs of sobriety out the window  :roflsmiley: I found the identical 70 BH, I.e. 318, IN VIOLET, BLACK RAG, BLACK INTERIOR. This car had the body work done on it in 08, had a fresh coat of in violet and a flat clear coat (which looked like  :poopoke:. The interior was out of the car, 318 top end redone, headers, aggressive cam and aluminum heads, 904 was rebuilt with 83/4 non sure grip. Car was stored in the sellers shop since 08. Basically, I drove it into the car hauler and from my residence to my shop (3 miles) without a windshield  :big smile: before going to town on the bodywork...........she's getting close.

I had a 70 Grand Coupe when I became a member in 2010. That sold and now I have the 70 BH. Just doing the floor pan, this was missed when the previous owner did the rear quarters back in 08  :swear:

Anyhow, I cut it out today and will be putting in the replacement pan tomorrow.........sweet!  :droolingbounce:
