NoReigns, when did you buy a B5 Blue 71 Barracuda? Do you still have the Challenger?

That my friend, is a 'cuda. But yes you're right it is a B5 blue 71. We sold the challenger over Thanksgiving and bought the 'cuda from a friend. She's a numbers matching 340 4 speed with a shaker hood.

Hope you all had a great Easter! More updates to come. Brake lines are almost ready to be sent out to be made out of stainless. Then on to the wiring.

Awesome read! And great job so far. Hoping to start my first rebuild...once I can find one that I like lol. Down here in Florida they seem to sell fast and I always seem to just miss. With that said I will definitely have to use GPR!

Thanks guys.

Since we made so many modifications we had to have a custom set of brake lines made. We called Fine Lines which is a local company, and they offered to custom make a set of stainless steel lines for us. I think they turned out awesome. They also sell pre-bent kits in case anyone is interested.

Now she's ready for an engine.

I've eaten off dinner plates that weren't that clean.
