I wonder what the other options on the car were.
The white with red interior one that is.

That '70 Barracuda ragtop is way worse than the '71 Challenger you just pictured....

I beg to differ...None of the sheet metal in my picture was original to the car except the rectangle convertible reinforcement plate over the rear axle.
We replaced the entire front frame/torsion bar section, outer rockers and 90% of the inner rockers. We did retain the inner rocker convertible reinforcements which are not seen in that picture... :pullinghair:

Except for the fact that the pictures you've posted of the Challenger are after blasting, and the Barracuda hasn't yet been stripped.

If one looks at the door pillar/cowl sides of the Barracuda, it is quite obviously in brutal condition -- swelling, separating etc.  Ditto for other areas of the car.
