Looks good Bart!   :2thumbs: :bigsmile:  What color is it?  Been trying to think exactly what color to paint mine buddy. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

thanks again for all the kind comments  :cheers:  other awesome projects here really pulled me through at times   :worshippy
Gordon,  if you`re not going with an original color,  you really should go to a paintshop, look at different samples and choose your favorit color.  I wanted mine  to have a " one of " color,  so thats what it will be.  :thumbsup:

I repainted the scoop inserts & found a save place for the grille.

How did you get rid of the screws that hold the inserts in place?
