Hi, Welcome to the board, I only discovered this site yesterday as well.  I was trying to work out where to post my question.  I am trying to find out if 1970 cuda panels front, quarter etc, front grill and rear tail ends will easily fit onto a 1973 barracuda?

Would appreciate any advice

thanks

Welcome to the site.

Well that is a little bit different than my race car, but I think I can safely say you would be in the 11s if not 10s (off of the gas).

Good Luck.  :2thumbs:
