    I guess we all have to start somewhere, newbie from Jacksonville Florida
    « on: January 12, 2008 - 06:03:42 PM »
    Hello, my name is Stefan,I registered few weeks ago while searching for my first Ebody project,well it didn't take long to find it,just last night it was delivered safe and sound,
     here she is,1971 Barracuda, needs alot of loving, but overall a very solid car,nearly flawless grille,good bumpers,clean fenders,doors,hood deck lid,header panel,rockers,frame rails and engine bay with no rust issues at all,will need new floors,right lower quarter section and full left quarter,since someone years ago replaced rear half of it,and now it just don't make sense to save it,
    I'm very happy with this fish,I just wish it was a 440 4 spd,so there is still a good chance it will end up with singled 2JZ,6 spd,AEM.
    I plan on replacing all of the suspension components and do a full air ride ,so I can dump it tucking atleast 19s front and 20x12s in the rear or maybe even 22's with a huge lip and 20s up front,flame suit on



    I will be making a new thread on the whole build once I have everything situated at the shop .

    Welcome to the site and tell us more about your plans for the Barracuda including color. I would be very happy to find a 71 with a near perfect grille.

    Welcome to the site! :wave:  That's a nice build plan, aside from those huge dubs. :eek7: j/k.  I think the 19"/20" combination doesn't look too bad, but I'm more of a 17"/18" person myself. :thumbsup:

    Hi Stefan, welcome!!!  :wave:

    Sounds like you have some wild plans for the Cuda!  Reminds me of what they did to that Mustang in Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.  Is that 2JZ that same as the Supra engines?
