Hey everyone, I am just getting started on a new pro touring project. The car is a 1974 barracuda that was my first car and have had since I was 15. The car is a clean good condition 318 car, the perfect car to start from. Currently I have the car stripped and have started cleaning and smoothing everything that needs to be addressed. So far i have finished a decent chunk of the metal work in the engine compartment, as well as some initial chassis work. I build race engines for a living, so I want to have a beautiful engine compartment to show off my work. The car will likely have several engines in its life, but they will all be late model hemi based. I will get some pictures up as soon as I can.

good luck with your cuda, I do a 71 barracuda with a 5.7L hemi here in France. I am still gathering parts and I am only missing a few ones before getting back to work on it

What kind of parts are you looking for? My car was a complete good condition car with factory air, and I will not be using alot of the parts and will be looking to get rid of some of it in the near future.

I have a lot of pictures but they are mostly 6 megapixel pics and I was wondering what is the best way to post pictures on here?
