Hey Kenny,

Way to go with the M46.  I am so glad to see another one on its way to be restored.  Congrats on your fishing trip and glad you landed it.  Keep us and me posted on your project.  Looks as we do need a lot of the same parts for our cars.  Can hardly wait to get started on mine to get it up in shape.   Were any of my ideas helpful in what you want to do to yours?  Gordon   :2thumbs:
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

Hey Kenny,

Good for you! :clapping: :bananasmi That should keep you busy for a while. :working:

After seeing the pictures, is the Cuda ahead of this one another different project car of yours or a parts car for this one? :dunno:

Well, I got something for the front and for the back of your car for you. I also got some things to go inside :bigsmile:

Glad to see it finally arrived. I will dig through stuff and see what else I have for you. Are you going power brakes or standard? Power steering or standard?

You got something to do now since it is winter time for you :2thumbs:

 :wow: Thanks everyone for the great support. I may have to replace the driver side quarter and the whole floor is rotten with holes, the trunk floor is pretty good with some little holes but the deck filler panel is rotten around the window.   The cowl is solid and the chassis rails are perfect, little bit of a bend on the front but it is an easy fix to straighten back out :2thumbs: I will be fitting power disc front and leave the power stearing.
Thanks for the slap stik Chuck :woohoo: you got that out in record time old mate.
The car in front is the other Barracuda that showed up with mine that my brother and i went halves in as a share project.  We have no problems with who drives what and this will be the one that we do first :jumping:
It is a slant six 70 Barracuda that runs and drives, i will have to do a passenger rear quarter and trunk floor, deck filler panel, but the rest is very solid, it will be sweet aswell. :clapping:

Hi Eric,
Your door did not make it to the container in time but is not far away.  Was able to fit it in another container and should be here in about two - three weeks time. I will post pictures when it arrives :2thumbs: and thanks for the door and 383efi for delivering it for me :woo:
