French Barracuda 70 AAR Replica

[Northcuda]

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 
My first job was to completely strip the car.

What color are you going with? 

[Northcuda]

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)

Then engine stripping.
Small block 340

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
