    FE5 70 Barracuda
    « on: December 18, 2008 - 08:32:57 PM »
    Well I have to start somewhere.

    Started on the grill.  Has a few cracks and missing pieces but is functional.

    Some pics of the car.

    Going to go BB(not sure of final displacement has a 440 now though) and kiesler 5 spd conversion kit.  Black Leather interior and Red Exterior.  I got some Hockey stick stripes for it too.  Will be a more stock looking exterior than my 72.  Updated Interior but nothing too flashy.

    Should be fun.

    Thanks Mike, I am just going to pick away at it for the next year or two.  I have some metal work being done to fix a couple issues then it may sit for a while until paint.  I'm going to clean and collect what I got and need until then.

    Tom :cheers:

    Maybe Carlisle 2010 for this one, I'd love to drive down and with the 5spd should cruise nice.

    Finished the lenses, got to do something about the light housing though.  Got to figure out a way to clean them up.

    Changed the color to match the Argent Texture better.  I had seen some other threads using the Graphite color texture paint.  Works pretty good out of the can.

    I picked up a set of Power Leather Bucket seats for it.  Have the rear as well to match.
