Opinion and advice on my 1968 GTX

[Meep-Meep]

Nice Barracuda by the way. I had a 68 340 S coupe back in the 80's that was originally yellow but was green when I got it. With all the dark green MoPars I saw over the years it's hard to believe someone went out of their way to make another one!!

after lots of thought and advice, I have taken the car apart, media blasted, and sent it to the body shop, metal has been removed, to get into all the rails , sand blast, then new metal will be raplace!!Taking the car apart was fun with no surprises other than more rust than we thought!

the quarters were braised on in the 70's and are mopar (still avail then) they are very nice so we will leave those on, heres a few more pics

Yes the Barracuda was in much better shape and it's a Canadian Car!!! The X wasn't that bad I just donn't want any little flaws or repairs so I went with "replace what's not perfect" theory , I will have more pics of the Barracuda in a week it close to paint now!! I want to take it to Moparfest this year!! Can't wait....X will be next year , once the metal and paint is done "july-ish" I will spend the winter putting it back together and sell the Barracuda in the fall to fund it ...or maybe the race car?? LOL
