Re: Blue's Barracuda
Andy only uses moly these days, it’s at least double the price of CDS these days. It’s a shame the seat belt bar had to go in so high but it’s correct for my height. You’re building another car? Didn’t see that coming…

Re: Blue's Barracuda
I always say that but never really get round to it, I've just amassed a load of spare parts over the years. The 580 motor carb to pan will be spare sometime next season. Anything below 3000lb with that in would easily run 8's when sorted.
'74 Challenger..9.46 @ 145.9 1/4, 6.001 @ 118 1/8 so far. 4023lb !!! # N/A, Marsh performance 655ci, Indy Maxx, T/R, Indy 600-13 X's, Street legal, pump gas, full interior, Cal-Tracs, mufflers, 4.10's and real 10.5 radials.
9.51 @ 142.4 1/4, 6.003 @ 114 1/8 with the old mule 580 wedge.
RHD '68 Barracuda Fastback 323ci street/strip. Best ET 13.88 @ 99.03

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Wasn’t happy with the cage so Andy kindly altered it to how I originally envisaged it.

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Thanks Pete, still need to “restore” the headrest and dye it blue to match the rest. I’ll cut my other headrest down to swap in for road use.

Re: Blue's Barracuda
know you’re all about weight reduction, but I reckon you’ll be more comfortable if you put the seats back in.
What’s the plan?

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Paint the cage and get it back together a bit sharpish!

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Seriously underestimated how long it would take to mask up, took 2 of us 5 hours Anyway it’s in primer, top coat Tomorrow.

Your slowing down in your old age mate, It'll all be worth it in the end.

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Popped the top off the paint this morning and realised the colour was way lighter than it was supposed to be quick dash to the paint shop for another go and it’s all good. Interior colour matches the door panels and its body colour in the boot. Glad that jobs out of the way it’s been bugging me for many months.
