Ozcuda's 70 Barracuda
« on: May 22, 2007 - 04:49:56 AM »
Hey guys,

Had some progress with the Barracuda and it is now on its wheels and should be home in a couple of weeks with driveline installed.  Took a couple of pics tonight to post but thought I might put a progress series to show nearly two years of very slow restoration.

Has been in the shop this time since November to fix up some paint, fit the driveline, rebuild and install the motor (383), add rebuilt hood hinges and final panel fit.  Nice to finally see it on its wheels - very motivating.  Interior, wiring, lights and other stuff is ready to go so hopefully things might speed up a bit now.  Todays pics..

Beautiful, simply beautiful. I had a limelight 340 'Cuda at one time so I favor the color for sure.  :2thumbs:
