I am helping my Friend (Tony) with the restoration of his 1968 BO29 HEMI Barracuda.
He is restoring it back to the way Tom Myle (original owner) had it in 1968. Tony and I have talked to Tom on phone a lot(what a big help) and Tom is excited to see the car back to the way he race it in 68. This car is documented for day one to present with pictures of the day Tom picked the Barracuda up at Hurst (working on getting that one). Tony Has talked to almost every owner of the Barracuda. Tom says the barracuda is number 7 but other say different. Tom picked the car up at Hurst with is friend Arlen Vanke, Who actually order the Barracuda for Tom (with Pete Myl Chrysler Plymouth dealer number). Tom said when he walked in to Hurst and ask I am here to pick up my car. They told him to go outside and pick one out. He thought that one would have his name on it but not the case. The place was in such disarray he cold not believe it. He had the choice of 7 I believe. All of them had no hoods on them, the hood had to be shipped to him later. (Blue fiberglas fenders) He said the cars were not that well but together. First thing they did when they got home with it, they yanked out the Hemi and rebuilt it.

The BO29 Barracuda has bin through a lot over the years but never out of touch. The car has all its original panels and never crashed. Yes, it has the original body numbers and the original fender Tag, paper work. The Car has bin tube and cage so all that has to go. The car needing the floors and rear frame rails. So Tony and I started the hunt looking for a rust free 68 Barracuda parts car. We only wanted a 68 so everything is correct with all stamped numbers on the sheet metal panels to match 68 Barracuda. Tony found a 68 Barracuda in Arizona I thought, but it was actually from California . Now the cutting drilling spot welds begins.
Going to start with some pictures of the car

Awesome, I like the blue rendition myself. I'd probably be tempted to do it in the first rendition as raced if it was somewhat attractive.

So did that beautiful original California 68 Barracuda you posted on here awhile back and deleted become the parts car for this?

awesome... I like the blue version


Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

That car was the cleanest rust free car I have ever seen. Not even surface rust anywhere. Just had some hazing on the metal that that was bare.

Nice work!
I'd guess this is one of the few cars these days that actually makes sense to do this level of work on. Glad to see it. I wonder why the inside of the body wasn't blasted too before the floor went on. I guess that most will still be able to be reached though.

The inside panels on the inside where super clean, like new. Remember this car never driven in the rain alway in a garage.

The BO29 Hemi Barracuda came with 8 3/4 from the factory . Should we do the 8 3/4 rear or should we do the Dana for the wow factor. Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Not really sure where you are going with this, but these are the pieces that were replaced
Full floor, over the rear pan, trunk floor, trunk drop offs, rear frame rails, inner and outer wheel wheels and inner rear panels (window regulators area) patched the original quarters. No Chinese parts used, all parts cut off an original 68 barracuda.
EVERYTHING else is original to this car from the Factory and from HURST, From the front bumper to the rear bumper except the original hood because the car did not come with a hood when Tom Myl pick the car up at Hurst. Chrysler Had to ship the hood later. The original shipped hood is still on the car now. This car has less panels replace than 90% of the cars that have bin restored(maybe more). Plus 98% of theses cars do not have their ORIGINAL Fender Tag. This Car has its ORIGINAL fender tag.
