That car reminds me of a girl I dated. Like her hair color I don't think anyone remembers the original color of that Barracuda.

BTW as I shiver while I type this I can say I only wish was back in Arizona. We're expecting ice and snow tomorrow.

Looks good!

We've seen so many damn colors on that car, we haven't figured out what was original, either.



Thanks all!

It needs a vinyl roof over the butchery.

Off topic, but your tire looks a little low...have you checked the air in it lately?

Today's progress...stripped the trunk lid, roll pan, driver's 1/4, and driver's door. Also primed all the newly stripped panels. Driver's fender and hood are all we have left to strip!! WOOHOO!!





Only rust we've found...we'll fix it another day.




We even got our buddy Hector in on the fun!




It was too dark by the time we finished spraying to take a shot of the completed primer...tomorrow.

Today's progress...stripped the hood, driver's fender, & cowl. Also, started filling the roof welds.










Hood welds...



Smoooooth...



Body work 101...a previous body shop mated two fenders together to make one. Yes, the fender was cut in half and mated with another half. Oh, and the front half is a '69 with the marker light filled in with a patch. Go figure.



We also found that the cowl vents had been "replaced" at one time with a welded in patch. The more we strip, the more fun we find. Thankfully, this was the last of the stripping. Shouldn't be any more surprises. Now, hit the shower!



So true...

More fun today...sand blasted some surface rust off the driver's fender, sand blasted the hood welds, filled in some dents and skimmed the hood welds with filler. Also, filled a hole in the driver's fender with lead.
























Done for the night...sleeping next to Rick's Challenger.

Today's progress...she's finally ALL in primer! Finished up some smoothing of seams on the hood, filled (with lead) the biggest and only second rust hole we found, smoothed out the driver's fender, and shot it all in primer/surfacer. Now the fun begins...blocking. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!






Oh yeah...and we put racing stripes on it! LOL
