I B the Newest Noob.
« on: June 01, 2008 - 06:55:52 PM »
Hey everybody.  Just thought I would hop on here and become part of the family.  There might be a couple here that know me from another famous Mopar site on the net. - Same Quickfish there too. :smilielol:  Anyhoo, I will share my hobby with you.  Been into mopars since age 16.  I won't bore you with all the  :blah: about my other cars.  My current project is one of the 341 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupes built with the 335 HP 383 4sp.  It also has AC, rallye dash and driver's sport mirror, console.  Original B5/B5 white top, PS, PB.  It was pretty limited on options but it got the good ones.  I found the car 13 years ago less than 3 miles from my house sitting out in the winter.  Brought her home for $3400, which was a lot back then for a car in this shape but this car in this color has always been my dream.  Been collecting parts an tools for the rebuild for all these years.  The engine is not original.  It's pretty much all there although somebody swapped out the blue interior for black and raped... I mean ripped out ALL of the A/C components and replaced them with standard components.  I have all but a couple pieces collected now.  The stripe job is really old and looks like was applied while abusing illegal drugs.  All body panels are original paint except right front fender which had collision repair.

Hope to spend a bit more time here and get to know more people who have the passion for the most beautiful cars ever made.
B5, Baby!

Hey, thanks everybody!  Glad to be here.  I'm really looking forward to making this place part of my daily vice.  It will be fun to connect with guys who are into the E body style as I have been all these years.

Kenny!  Yo!  My brother from another mother down under!  Good to hear from you again.  I might have expected you'd be here.  I don't know if you caught it, but last year on Sept. 17 I ruptured my left achilles tendon.  I was in a cast for three months and rehab for another two before I felt like a human again.  I am just about up to full speed again, but I am cautioned by the doctor that it won't be fully healed for another three months.  I'm still looking for a good paying video gig (I'm a video director/editor) and am freelancing right now.  Haven't done anything on the car since I put SS springs on her last summer.  I plan on pre-fitting all my brake components (Mopar action 11.75 cop disks and aluminum master cylinder), anti sway bar, AC stuff and maybe getting some of my sheet metal done.  Then it comes apart.  So that's about it.  Did you ever find a solution for the B5 Gran Coupe headliner material?  For those who haven't fallen asleep on this post, Kenny and I have been in pursuit of very rare material.  Here's a picture:  So far I have found it in black and white through Barnabas Kriss, but not blue.  I am wondering if the white could be properly dyed.  It's eye popping.
