Next on the to do list is to block the doors again and pull the LH rear frame rail out a little since its pushed in and pulled the qt down with it, then after that install quarter pannels.

Cool Bacarruda.
how could you forget to mention that 67 GTX is a factory wedge car.

Because saying HEMI is much cooler.
Looks just as great here as on the original site. Looking real good, and can't wait to see the final product.

Looks great Jack!
Just went over to FABO and read the whole thread on your car.
You started about the same time that I did. 2006
It does take a while.
Please keep the updates coming.
ah yes, well actually my dad was misinformed on that info, he was under the impression that it came factory like that, and after doing some looking, I found out a 426 wedge was never available that year only in the max wedge cars and large cars. bummer but still have the engine, I would really like to put it in a 64 330 or a 65 coronet, dam those cars look sweet!
Oh and for updates, I blocked the doors again tonight but forgot to bring my camera, I'll get pics as soon as I can!
Nice, looks like it is going to be alot of fun. I have been drooling over barracudas ever since I saw highway men. If you havent seen it you are missing out.
Going to have to check that out, thanks for the tip! As for todays progress, I wasnt able to make any, I got off work early and was going to block my doors again, but we had no available stands to use, so i worked on my bike instead.
Well time to get back to working on the projects:
Pulled the front end off so I can sandblast the Jams then prime them and get the doors hung to fit the quarters when I install them. Didnt get as far as I would like but ran out of time the other night, Got the decklid all stripped and fixed the dents it had in it and it is now ready to be block sanded.

Well back at it again! Removed the dash and column this weekend, Found out my doner column is bent where it meets the steering box. I was unable to find much info on how to tear a column apart, but found another one locally for 150 bucks so I think I'm going that route.
I also am going to look into getting new rivets for the vin tag so I can take the tag off and sandbast and paint the dash Blue again, we'll see how that goes. When the guy gets back to me about a column, anyone know what years interchange btw? anyways when he gets back to me Im also going to see if he has a 4 speed swap setup along with at least a 8 1/4 rear but would like a 8 3/4 rear end for it too

Your Dad doesn't have a spare 8 3/4 lying around in all those parts?

Nope not for an a body car.I got ahold of the local mopar guy he has a whole 4 speed swap setup. A 8 3/4 rear end, bucket seats with head rests and a floor shift steering column. Time to start saving money!

Made some progress today, Sandblasted all of my dash parts. Then filled all the unnecessary holes from gauges and CB radios over the years and primed all of the parts.
