    My first inclination without seeing the pics was letters out but the letters in actually look pretty good, more modern looking.

    What diameter rims are you using?  As far as the pics go, they look larger than 15"?  If that is the case, letters in.

    How about this...  One side of the car you can have the white letters out and on the other side white letters in   :grinyes:

    On most any car I would say it doesn't matter. Whereas my father always puts letters out on his cars, no matter what the car is lol.

    Being that it's a classic though, I would say letters out!

    I agree with the bigger tires and maybe drop the rear a bit.  I usually am pro white letters but I like the clean look of the green with black top / stripe and tires on yours  :2thumbs:   I`d say letters in.

    I think that is a '72 only barracuda stripe. 


    My son just looked at the pics and immediately said letters out.  :D
