Hi, since we get so many nice reports from Kowalsky down under, her is a Cuda project from the bitter north! the Barracuda is finaly in storage and my procject is underway. I've poseted the same post over at
www.pro-touring.comMy 1970 Plymouth Barracuda is changing colours this winter. I bought the car from Seattle in march this year. A voyage around the world waited. After a 2 month swim on the atlantic the Barracuda reached Norwegian shores. The key was turned, the 340 came to life and I drove it 620 miles home. Since I got the car, I've added the roadlamps and a Rallye dash cluster.
Now I've had the car, and had fun with it for the summer, It's time to get busy. Here are some pics of the teardown.
Engine compartment will get the treatment, the only colour that could ever be applied to the 340 is Hemi street orange, so It will be.
Here I am, turning the car around.
I'm getting the stock rectangular exhaus tips.
The migthy mopar with some of it's winter storage pals, A Nissan Laurell 3.0 V6 behind it, A 78 Ford Capri with a Cosworth turbo engine, an 71 Opel Manta, and a 78 Opel Kadett.
The 67 Mustang is a stock 289 a/c car.
Here I am screwing the door of.
There seems to be little rust, glad I got a west coast car.
The plans for the winter besides the paint job is new wheels and hopefully som new TTI headers.
The colour will be Nissan Apple Pearl green, AAR stripes, and an AAR spoler will help the look of the car.
I want to build the suspention to, but that has to wait. The paint and the wheels takes most of my budget for the winter. The car have already seen some track duty, and the old 318 torson bars is not up for the job.
Can't wait to start assemblying it again with the new paint!
The last picture I took yesterday evening, the engine is coming out today, stay tuned
