    Newbie 71 Barracuda
    « on: March 18, 2011 - 11:50:17 PM »
    Great forum!  I'm starting the build on my 71 Barracuda and have been reading quite a bit on here.  Lots of good info.
    I have a 06 5.7 and NAG1 engine/trans that I'm going to be installing after I decide on which front end to go with.  Leaning hard
    towards the RMS.  Haven't heard anything bad about them.

    I want the car to handle and drive great so I'm not going the stock restoration route.   
    Got a ton of work ahead but I've been loving it so far!  I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

    Welcome aboard, Id like to go with RMS suspension as well when I get my cuda LOL But it's pretty pricey I figured I would try to build the same rear suspension they offer for much cheaper!

    Welcome!  Sounds like a cool project.

    If you really want to be cool, take the ugly 71 grill off your car and put on a 70.  Then since you won't be needing the 71 grill..... sell it to me!   :cooldancing:

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
