My 1971 Barracuda's Resto Page
Welcome to my Barracuda's restoration page. Here you will find a couple of pictures that were taken during the restoration of the Barracuda from the day we bought her, till now. WARNING !!! These pictures are not for the faint of heart. The surgen general has deemed these pictures as a health hazzard. Proceed at your own risk!!. As you look at these pictures you may wonder why I bought this car. There was so much rot, that almost everything had to be replaced. Well, what I saw was a diamond in the ruff. As you look at these pictures you will see (remember the warning above ) the transformation into the polished diamond. Some of the pictures are before and after shots. These pictures start from the day I bought her, through the major reconstruction, to her first paint job, then to the second paint job with the big block/4 spd.and pro-streeting.
