70 Barracuda Gran Coupe Refresh

[turbo224]

15" ralley wheels finally mounted up. They look much better than the 80's era Cragers and JC Penny tires that were on it. 😃 I spent a little time working on getting the grill installed today as well. Getting the 71 front end to work with my 70 fenders and 72 header panel will definitely take a little work, but I think I've got it figured out so far.

Nice work, that's a good looking car.  I have always liked orange cars with white interiors.

Hey Tyler, it is looking really sweet mate. Just a word of advice my friend,paint the rear side markers the same colour black as what the billboards are to look more correct like an original billboard car would have.

It's taken way too long, but I've finally got the front end figured out. It seems the last 10% of a restoration is always the most time consuming.

Car porn at it's finest! Good job!

My Viper seats may have found a new home.

You mean SRT-4 seats? I have the same ones in my Neon. Great seats!

I thought billboard cars had the rear marker lights painted body color.  His are correct factory appearing.  I have billboards on my car, and I painted them black anyway because I think it looks better.  Just depends on what he is going for.  Factory correct or personalized.

You're correct...always stripe colour, not body colour

[turbo224]

Yes, they should be black. I kind of like the color contrast though, so I'll probably leave it alone for a while.

Close enough.

Found the passenger taillight I needed at MATS last month, so the tail panel finally matches the rest of the car. The weather has been pretty bad here this week, but I cant wait for it to clear up so I can finally get this thing out of the shop and get some decent pictures.

looks great !  Body color grill Always does it for me on the 71`s.

Finally got her out of the shop and into some sunshine! Still a few things to finish up, namely the windsheild, park lights, and significantly lowering the ride height all around.
