1971 Plymouth Barracuda Project

[Claudia]

Here is my '71 Cuda project.

I bought the car about two months ago and have been hard at it to get the body work done.

Dig that blue!

 

[moparlee]

That blue will make a nice ride. And at first I thought the first 3 pics in the orange was the finished paint. Looks like you started with a very solid cuda.

Very nice, love the color!

 

[MOPARMITCH]

Very nice. That's not B7 Jamaica Blue is it ?

 

[Claudia]

Thank you to everyone for the compliments!

I was actually able to locate and purchase both of the Chrysler "Body" and "Chassis" Manuals from 1971 and they are extremely helpful.
I did start out with a pretty solid car which I am thankful for.
Paint is not B7 - Jamaica Blue but is a factory Chrysler color.

Finally finished with the body paint!

So what Blue is it?

 

[Claudia]

It is a custom mixed color . . . it does not have a specific code.

 

[cudaguy71]

You stated it was a factory Chrysler color...

 

[Claudia]

Sorry, yes it did start out as a factory Chrysler color but was customized from there.

The engine bay is still orange, are you going to spray it blue?

 

[Claudia]

Engine bay is black now . . . I need to update my progress pictures!
