Here's a couple pics of the NOS sheet metal I used.. full NOS quarters, and full NOS trunk floor.. we relocated the shock tower holes to the top.. came out perfect... this was all done before you could get this stuff re-popped through Goodmark... but I'm glad it's all original... I may be broke now, but the car looks great! lol...

Man! I just received my carbs back from Holley!! I sent them to the Holly Custom Shop 6 weeks ago for a complete rebuild and restoration. Who better to send then to but the original maker.... for $660 you get all three rebuilt, anodized, etc. They came out awesome. Here are some before and after shots...

Man they look really good.  Guess it was worth the wait on them.  Hope they work as good as they look.   :2thumbs:   :bigsmile:
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

Sweet looking carbs Rudy. That thing is going to be worth its weight in gold when you get done with it.

Wow the Cuda is looking great.

Hey, I have a question.  I know the T/A's had a black strip painted ontop of the quarters right below the spoiler.  It was there so you didn't see body color under the spoiler.  Do the AAR's get that treatment too?

no, just the body color under the wing. I've never seen a AAR with this stripe, even on survivor cars.

I must say, this is a fantastic build thread.  The quality of the pictures are fantastic.       :popcorn:
