Most of you will know me from over there, but for those who don't I'm Robert. What's interesting about that is I'm not an A-body owner, but helping my 14 nephew build one. I'm actually an E-body (and B-body and M-body) owner and new here. Go figure.
Pop bought my E-body about 15 years ago. It's a '74 Barracuda, starting life as a 318/904 car, B5 with blue interior. His intention was a 440/6 4 speed car. My intentions go a little beyond that. Pop gave me the car a little after he retired, figuring I'm still young enough with the earning potential to do something with it.
Right now the car is a project, but one on the back burner. I've decided to move in order of least work/least money to start with and that means the M-body comes first, mixing that in with my '78 F250 which my grandfather bought new off the lot, so there's some sentimentality mixed in as well.
I might get some pics up, but not thrilled with the state of her right now. The body is solid. Pop did a lot of work when he bought it, but still needs inner fenders and left quarter to be done right. Think what I'll do to ease the pain is put the body together as I go on with the first two projects. Now where did I put that job and money that goes with it?
