Bluecifer 1970 Cuda B7 Blue Restoration

I don't do body work and paint. My shop is just not set up for it and I've never done it. You guys know how hard it is to find someone that will take a project. Even though this is not a huge project to paint. Most body shops just want to do production insurance work, easy peasy. I think I'm on guy number 7. He's supposed to come this week and take a look. Meanwhile, I have begun to work on individual components to have them ready, if and when the car does come back. The master cylinder was numbers matching date coded so I sent the cylinder out to be stainless steel sleeved. Haven't put it back together yet. Blasted the k-frame and got it ready, and then going to work on the differential which still had all of the brakes and tires attached to it sitting outside.

Hey, Mitch. A picture of you without a cigar. That's rare.

Very nice project! Honestly I try not to follow too many projects because it reminds me I need to work on my own Barracuda! Are you planning on doing a full restoration back to factory? Or slipping in a few modifications here and there? I have lots of reference information if going the full restoration route. And some hidden mod suggestions if you're interested.

The car is completely Numbers. Matching. Plan is to make it look like it did the day it came from the Mopar Dealership. I do my own mechanical engine and transmission and all else work. I will probably modify the engine internally to give it a little more horsepower, but externally the car will look original. I'd be interested to hear what your thoughts are.
