After three years in body shop prison, my Barracuda is finally coming home. She is getting striped tomorrow, then cleaned up and delivered!

Here are some pics of it now that it's painted Omaha orange.

Thanks! This car was supposed to be a quick clean up and driver while I worked on my Challenger. It turned out to be a full blown restoration. My goal is to have it finished by early August. Not a lot of time, but now that I am unemployed I will have plenty of time to work on it. When it's done, I'll finally get back to the Challenger.

Hey Erik, its looking really sharp. I can't wait to see it done.

Sorry to hear your unemployed. I lost my job at Marcus Hook due to plant closure and got redeployed to Philly. What a drag this economy has been!

Thanks, everyone! After I got it home I found a few small things that will need to be changed/fixed. Like the fender bolts were all painted black instead of body color, and the hood pop up spring has already dug through the paint on the underside of the hood.

That's what happens when you let Ford guys paint a Mopar! LOL

No. The shop is owned by a man named Jeff Syracuse and it's in Kresgeville, PA.
