Looks beautiful. Very nice job - congrats!! 
BTW, your grille surrounds and bumpers look very straight and shiny - did you have them re-done somewhere?
Thanks very much! Yes I did, the bumpers were done at Chicago plating, my first go around with this car in 2003-4. Not sure if they are still in business, they were building million dollar condos in that neighborhood last time I was there. So I would suspect he may have sold out or had the EPA shut him down.
I have a friend that has made a mission out of these grilles, and he sells them. He gets them done just like they came out new, with the right rivets etc. Let me know if you want his contact information.
My first go around with this car, I did them myself and bought the polishing equipment from Eastwood to do it.
But he did a much better job, by having them anodized, etc. The rear trim, is still my handiwork, he felt they may "go away" if sent through his process. Someday, maybe I can afford the $650 for the reproductions.

Your car looks INCREDIBLE!! Not sure how I missed this thread before. A while back, I remember seeing a similar car in one of the magazines. Not sure if it was yours are not. But if it wasn't yours certainly be in one. I know you were glad to have it at the show. 
65 Barracuda

Thanks Joe, I truly appreciate the kind words.
I think I remember the car you are talking about, it was very similar for sure. I think it had a 360 crate motor, and maybe a white interior, and I believe it was a 67.
I have only had a couple in mags over the years, my 57 Fury in "Muscle Hustle" back in 86, then my 68 Hemi RR was in Mopar Action about 2001 if I remember correctly. It was just a couple shots of the condition it was in, when I purchased it.
You might enjoy the slide show on the 65 Barracuda I did for my Dad. Didn't you just get your 65 back?

Ha Ha, I was just considering trading this car. Hadn't really seen it in a month (put away) and forgot how much work and $ it has been. So glad I pulled up this thread! Not trading it, just going to keep playing with it.
