Nothing wrong with doing a restoration back to the original, as delivered condition, except for using BC/CC and radial tires.

Nobody in the Houston area, where we get a great deal more direct sunlight than more northern states, is doing acrylic, because it won't last very long here. I had covered parking both at home and at work when I bought my brand new '69 Barracuda, so the factory paint still looked nice until the mid 70's, then started going down hill.

I still recall what a huge improvement radial tires were when I first put them on my Barracuda in the early-mid 70's.


If you don't see two dolphins, you need a vacation.
