Re: RHD '68 BARRACUDA RESTORATION
Thanks for the comments all.
That's exactly what had happened, the rust getting under the lead & pushing it out. I did expect the inner structure to be knackered but it was surprisingly sound. The stresses/flex in that area on the fastback especially must be crazy!

Re: RHD '68 BARRACUDA RESTORATION
Ok so a quick update on progress over the past few months. When I got the car, it was obvious that there was rust in the C-pillar/roof join area bursting through. I think this must be common with the fastbacks as of the ones I've seen in the flesh, this area often looks to have been filled or have &...

Re: Blue's Barracuda
She looks fantastic Blue!
I've often wondered about clay bars too, never used them as I was a bit sceptical. May give it a go on the Cortina!

Re: RHD '68 BARRACUDA RESTORATION

How have you got over that hurdle, are they available from elsewhere? Love the way yours has turned o...

Re: RHD '68 BARRACUDA RESTORATION
I've been chipping away at the rear end over the past 6 months, and (albeit slowly) things are now coming together nicely. It's a bit of a struggle in my "tent" & time has been limited, but it's getting there. With the dropoffs, boot floor & rear crossmember finished I've been on w...

Re: RHD '68 BARRACUDA RESTORATION
Rear crossmember finished off & welded into place over the weekend. Also a few pics of the finished lower portions of the wheel tubs which were cut out & replaced a while ago..
