I bought my Barracuda 70 18 years ago.
My first project was a fast restoration with just a small camshaft, 600 cfm, headers ....
The former owner had started a restoration and wanted to paint the car in "pink panther" here is the result  :huh:
My first job was to completely strip the car.

Once stripped with brushes I treated with a phosphate primer and prime.
My chance, the car which had been stored dry for 10 years, showed little corrosion.
But those are the basics for anyone who restores a 50 year old car.

And first try of orange paint in the engine compartment. (Audi LY2D)

My regular trips to the Dragstrip in Santa Pod (UK) with friends lead a first slip in my project and a small restoration.
340 becomes 410ci  :D
