Very nice look. You should get some shots for the calendar; A-bodies are always under-represented.

Where'd ya get the whole idea on this look?

Did you see one done like this somewhere or was this entirely your own idea?
Very cool and different.

FWIW,
These early Barracuda's made an impact back in the day on road racing.
With modified handling, they kicked a$$.

Thank you.  It was my idea, I just thought that there was way too much chrome on the early cudas, and that window was so damn big it just didnt look tough.  I figured, what car wouldnt look good all blacked out with some tint and wheels.  Then I wanted to do something with a stripe that would be subtle, so i figured flat black would do the trick.  I cant wait to move the springs in and get some wheels on her and a proper stance.
