Well we finally got the car finished this past August , but ive been too lazy to take some pictures of it . Well tonight I got off my *** and went into the garage and snapped a couple pics of it . The pics are a little blurry cuz I was too close to the car and its damn cold out and i was shaking a little . The car is a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda with a 340 crammed inside it . When I say crammed , I mean CRAMMED . We had to modify the headers cuz they wouldnt fit . It took a little over a year to get the car all finished , but we're still missing a few little pieces ( ie the back finishing trim and some stuff on the inside) . We're also going to slap another set of rims and different tires on it . The body has had soem major work done to it . We had to strengthen the frame , build a new section of the frame , redo the trunk , redo the floor panels , and put in two new rear quarter panels and fix up the bottom of the doors due to rust . The car is basically brand new now . There has been a bit of motor work doen to it and the tranny has a shift kit . This car will haul and revs HIGH before its shifts .

Well seems like I can't or don't know how to post pictures ... but if someone can email me me and post the pics for me it would be appreciated . GregLarocque644@hotmail.com ...... I'm also looking for a late 80's or early 90's Camaro without engine or Tranny , in good shape cuz we're gunna start another project for the winter . Planning on slapping in a 400 chevy small block that'll push nearly 500 HP without NOS .

Thanks for posting the pics ... very much appreciated . I'll try and get some better ones when its not so cold out and I'm not shaking trying to take the pictures . Might not be until the spring before I get to take outdoor shots cuz as you can see its up on the stands for the winter . Anyone got any suggestions as to which kind of rims we should slap on it? I told the old man to get a set of centerlines but he's not a fan of them . Maybe a set of Cragars ???

Sweet ride man, I have a 1970 Charger w/a 383 Magnum...

I'd throw on a set of Cragar S/S wheels on it or American Racing Torque Thrust II's...either of those would be sweet.

Magnum 500's would look really nice on it as well...and hey, go with a set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A's...that'll really set it off. :D

The old man has his mind made up on a set of BG Goodrich tires .... just needs to decide on rims . My mom made him get another job ( he's retired ) just to pay for the car .... so far he's spent almost 25Gs on the car , plus add another 3Gs for rims and tires ... car should get a final appraisal of around 35Gs american . He's already thinking of selling it and starting another project . In the past 4 years we've gone through 3 project cars .

HAHA ... I love that poster . My uncle gave it to us a few years ago and its all laminated.... Above the girl its written " A Pitcher is Worth a Thousand Words" ... The girl is holding a pitcher of beer and has a bunch of books beside her and shes wearing a nice little bikini . I'll try and snap a better picture when the batteries are charged in my digi cam.
