New Guy From Arkansas

[John Be]

Hi All! This is my first Mopar a 1970 base model Barracuda, of course in need of a restoration.
I'm in the N.W Arkansas area, so if there are any members local please give a shout out!
My plans are to strip it down, it has a good under carriage but will need immediate replacing of the the left rear 1/4, trunk pan, plus tons of other stuff etc.........

Welcome John from New York - best of luck with the build. Is there a fender tag? Is it originally a white car?

 

[moparleo]

Welcome aboard. Do yourself a favor and do not order any parts until you have it media blasted/dipped to see what you really have to work with. Sometimes better to find one in better condition. Parts and labor, especially if you pay someone else, can be very expensive.

I dont think you see too many 70 cudas in white which is why I think it's cool.
