    I begin to check the engine
    this is a 2007 charger engine with Mds.
    If I disconnect the Mds sensors, can I let them in place after swapping the carb intake ?

    Cannot go wrong with either color but I always like to go factory myself. B5 is a super color with tons of pop. Comes down to what you want, choose which color you like best and go with it.  Nice progress   :2thumbs:

    I chose the color, the cuda will be white, like my 70 mach 1 mustang, i like white cars

    the barracuda will not receive a complete restoration but more like a fresh coat of paint and good suspension and engine

    here are the picts :






    and a pict of my mach 1 in progress

    they will be hidden behind ignition components, moreover i do not have a welder at the moment, I know this is not good job but I have to get this cuda running very soon
    sorry for the hobbyists,  :bricks1:

    I love white cars. Alpine White is a clean color for a car. Didnt notice those holes, what in world made someone do that? I would at least smear a good coat of silicone over those before mounting your electronic ignition module. Good progress, thanks for the update  :cheers:

    I am thinking of bolting my Msd 6hemi right behind the holes. near the wiper arms, this way I will have to cut where the holes are in order to make a bigger one for the ignition harness.
