Noob here. A mopar man to help mix things up
Hey folks, my buddy John Reding, co-worker of mine on this board (don't know his tag yet) turned me onto this site.
Definitely good info since I've been lurking and decided to join up.
Got a few projects going.
Right now, I've got a '70 Challenger 'vert on the rotisserie getting some more body mods (four-speed hump, cleaned up firewall, frame connectors, etc.) before getting paint on it.
Hope to have someone (sux Wayne Due is not doin' business) setup a C4 rear end in her. I already got an RMS Alterkation R&P for her. Hoping the car to get a Keith Black al Hemi for her and a Keisler 5-speed (TKO-II).
Pic of her after getting acid dipped in Canada:
Other project (haven't really started) is a one of 161 383 Gran Coupe. Hope to make the same suspension mods, but stroke the 383 to like...496 (4.25" arm, 4.28" bore) and maybe get the Keisler four-speed auto conversion. Full 'Cuda conversion (gilled fenders, shaker hood, etc.) also planned...in black!
Don't have any good pics of her...yet:
At any rate, glad to join up!

No, he's talkin' about converting the Barracuda Gran Coupe to a 'cuda. The Barracuda's didn't have gills in the fenders and didn't come with Shaker hoods.
-Ragtop, it's always good to see other Mopars on here. I get a kick out of the ney sayer Mopar purists that cry when we bring a little technology to our out-dated suspension. Do you ever hear, " You did save all the original parts to put it back to original, right?" Uhhh, no. Are we supposed to.Johnny C.

I'd leave the gran coupe the way the body is-esp if its that rare, not every barracuda needs to be a 'cuda. the smooth hood and no gills looks great!

Well...I thought about it, but I can't help just how badass this looks, which is my inspiration:
