All I would ask for christmas is to get my M46 Barracuda restored.  At least get some money to get it started on the right track.

What's the first thing you want to do with it and how much you talking about?

[67vertman]

Have you been naughty or nice this year?

Hopefully, Santa will bring you a nice bag of restoration parts or CASH is always good.

[426HEMI]

Well I have not been naughty.  Just been hard to make money this year and I have not been able to do anything to my Barracuda except for changing a drivers side door.

Well the first thing I want to do is to repair the floor pans and trunk pans and extentions.  Then I would want to either repair or replace the rear quarters.  Then I would repair all of the body that needs attention.  Then I would paint the interior and would do the body also.  That is what I would want to do first off.  Really I would like to gather all of the parts I need to finish also.

Any help would be great.     I hope santa gets the word.

How much of the work can you do yourself?
What kind of rates for body work in your area?

[426HEMI]

I do all the work myself.  I don't want to pay anyone to do the work I am qualified to do and have the tools and knowledge to do.  I have done it all from front to back and top to bottom and everything in between.  I grew up in a body shop and have been a mechanic for over 35 years.  I am not sure what body shop rates are but I bet they are high.

In my area it is about $80.00 an hour wish I had the tools and knowledge.
