Are you going to paint the body with the flares on or off or hanging up near the car at the same time? Did you get a booth?

No booth, gonna roll it. Going with the $100 paint job I was originally gonna go with and I am buying the AAR stripe from ebay thats for 67-69 barracudas just customized with no fuel and door handle cutouts, no shield or letters. taking everything off and the flairs, spoilers and louvers are staying satin black.
Its cool man you helped me more than you know I love my car and it is serving me well I drive it everyday and I have a permanent grin from it.

These are pics of my previous mopar that I owned. Just to show what the $100 Rustoleum paint job looks like from different angles. I really miss my barracuda.

Now I just got to get her painted and order the vinyl side stripe and the Blackbird will at least look like it will break the sound barrier. :headbang:
Been thinking about buying another slant block and supercharging or turbo-ing it mwahahah or just get a 360 and be done with it idk. maybe a supercharged 360? Only thing is I would have to find a donor car for the rearend and driveshaft. My small ujoint driveshaft and the 7.25 rear need to go.

I think a souped-up 360 is plenty Rich, or the forced induction of a slant-either route is good. 450hp/460+torque is not an unreasonable goal for 360 high performance-and would keep you entertained reliably for years-the drawback being fuel economy on your daily driver
When volare4life came to help he was very interested in one of my Plymouth b body hoods-he has a complete turbo setup for your motor....

I think a supercharged slant is where I'm going. Turbo is to expensive. Looking for around 300 HP and nearly 400 Ft/lbs torque. I think either way I will have to replace the driveshaft and diff to something more beefy.
