It got to late to be grinding and pounding on the Hellraiser so I took apart the rear of the Blackbird. Here are some pics of the cancer.

Ok I found the image I was looking for. THIS is how I am painting the Blackbird. Imagine black with a red AAR stripe.

That is so true. I cut a thicker peice of metal for the bracket and made sure it was bare clean metal before I welded it again. its got good welds on it now. Works really well. Where I have it makes the clutch feel heavy since the master cylinder hooks up so low on the pedal. But IMHO a Hyd clutch feels to flimsy when you also have mechanical advantage, The loss of Mechanical advantage through leverage on the master cylinder give the pedal more of a stock feel.

I like the barracuda the best the Duster is a close second.

if you look at the body line on a 2 door volare it is VERY similar to that Barracuda. on the side profile only of course. wouldn't it be cool to make a early 70's Barracuda front clip for the F bodies. I wonder if there are any A-body bumpers that are a close enough fit for our cars.
