thought Id start a post about my resto...
Its a VERY rusty 71 318 auto on the floor FE5 barracuda vert. Car is 100% complete, still has the original top and coded rear top glass,( Which I'm hoping I can some how re-use )... all the glass is perfect even the door mirror glass.
progress pics to follow...

Looks good! I like it

I did a RR convertible that was in a similar condition and it was a lot of fun.

Good luck and i will be watching!
