new to me barracuda
« on: December 20, 2010 - 10:50:07 PM »
hey all! my name is chadwick. well, finally after 15 years of drooling over cudas at mopar shows..i finally went and found myself one with a good body to start with. im an optician, but my love is painting and customizing bikes, imports, trucks, muscle, you name it.  i have a long way to go but i am eager to start this build. it is a 74 with a 318. i have a 440/727 combo already that i could drop in but i have not decided my exact direction with the build yet.

Cool color combo.
What is the fender tag readout?

You will have to use a picture host like photobucket to post large pictures here.

Cool Project !!

 :wave:  Hello and Welcome to the site, Chadwick.  Your 74 has some nice straight bumpers and the body is looking pretty darn good too.  I see some other nice mopars in that yard along with yours.  Great looking project.  Have a color combo in mind yet?
