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.

Are you rolling gloss?
Please make a video or some type of tutorial for the rest of us.
 
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.

thats sexy, I can't wait for a tutorial, hell if you willing to teach, i could drive up your way one of these weekend, you tell me what i need to bring lol
 
Thanks! It was really bright out gonna wait for the sun to go down and I will take better pics. I love the way they look though.
 
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.
