all the links to your pics are broken! - Just a FYI
I was thinking of a custom gas tank with baffels and a in tank pump, But I decided to go with a stock tank and pump and have a small storage tank with pump so I have a constant fuel supply to the engine, the overflow flows back to the stock tankBuild Thread!!!https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?88692-1971-Speedipus-Rex&p=925864&posted=1#post925864

Yeah - I see that. Not sure why - Must be something Pro-touring.com did Most of the later pictures are there - maybe the site archives the old ones? Dunno. Does knida suck though...

OK - time to wake this thread back up. Have been doing a little work here and there, and now the car is actually at a nearby shop for the marriage of the body and chassis. So, starting with the tank...
and the current state of the chassis as of June 2016
Have been looking for a clean PS quarter for quite some time. One comes on ebay for $200, and I snag it as a Buy It Now. It's in Missouri. Now, just by serendipity, my in-laws are traveling from CALI to NY with a trailer and pickup. Twelve hours after I buy it, they're 2 hours west of the location in MO. They pick it up on their way through!! Amazing luck.

New Induction
I've set the engine way back, and have lots of room up front. Have been debating about the wow factor under the hood. either SC or T. Well, since I work for the company that makes T, I had to go that route.
Time for a shoutout to my Dad, who worked for Standard Oil in Whiting Indiana, and is responsible for my interest in cars.
Going to try and do the same for my son

So, a friend at work told me about this cool tool for designing headers, from ICE ENGINE WORKS. Best tool ever. Like a big set of lego's.

Moving Day
So, with the arrival of two children, time is valuable. I was introduced to a local guy who did a job for a mutual friend were he took a 30's plymouth sedan, and converted it into a extended cab pickup. I talked him into taking on the barracuda project, and now it's time to trailer it over there.
and then just 14 labor hours later...

Oh man, I need to see this. I am a Mustang guy but this 65 Cuda has been in my uncles garage since 1974 and I can have it if I want. Not sure but I have no car to play with so the WANT factor is high.

Catching up
Things are going - but going slow. I had great plans to get out in the garage this winter, but then decided on expanding one of my businesses - that kinda takes away time spent working on the Barracuda. I have however, made some progress since the last update - working on the underside of the car. I've "long term borrowed" a rotisserie from a friend, and though - I better get the underside of the car done just in case he asks for it back! Originally Posted by 6XCuda
I had planned on Base/clearing it, but then reality got the best of me - this car is going to be driven first - not shown first. So, I decided to stop with the body work on the underside, and go with Lizard Skin on the floor, and Herculiner in the wheel wells. Just need some warmer weather to get that done.
In the mean time, here's a few update pics.

Steady as she goes...
Been awhile - time to post a few more pics. Got the bottom of the car finished with Lizard Skin Sound deadener, followed by the heat shield. Got Herculiner in the wells. Want to get it off the rotisserie soon, so working on getting fuel, power, and brakes from the back to the front. Will be moving the build thread over to FB - just much easier to post from my phone.
