FASTBACK340 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) While waiting for the weather to co-operate so I can paint my `68, I'm going to start my `70 Barracuda. Since no one has grabbed this one yet, I'm going to paint mine FM3, or Moulin Rouge (pink….) with a White interior. Pure eye candy….. Details to follow……. Edited January 25, 2015 by FASTBACK340 Quote
PappyD340 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah I would say it would be very difficult to paint in a blizzard! I have seen some 1:1 mopars in that color and it actually is isn't that bad, so I say go for it John!! Quote
FASTBACK340 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I know the owner, Pete, of the original Panther Pink Challenger pilot car from the`69 auto show circuit. It's a loaded Pink & White convertible and it's absolutely stunning in person. I might hack the roof off the `Cuda too. Need to research other threads for boot options... Who's going to do FC7 / In Violet? http://www.rickcarey.com/ColorNames.htm Edited January 3, 2014 by FASTBACK340 Quote
tubbs Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 hey John, sounds like a really neat build. being a life long mopar fanatic like yourself, I know of the car and you are right, it's beautiful. a good friend of mine had a 70 440+6 cuda, pink with black interior. it's really a love it or hate it type of color. keep us posted.

FASTBACK340 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 I'm actually doing it in Pink because that's my Wife's favorite Hi-Impact color. Besides, why not? I'd never own something this, er…. visually LOUD, but I can appreciate it's attraction. And I am tempted to stuff in a Ross Gibson 440-6….. Quote
slusher Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Looking forward to it John, I love mopars... Quote

WOW!! lucky man, my wife has no clue about "hi-impact colors", 440's or anything like that. there are some great colors out there from mother mopar. I have not gotten my 70 cuda yet, but that is the way I planned on doing it, pink with a 440+6. has anyone who has the 70 cuda test fitted a 440 in one yet? is there much monkeying around with lining up the shaker?

My wife knows what an M code `69 Barracuda is…. As for the 440-6, I'll get back to you on that. Quote
freakshow12 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I think I wanna do a top banana 440 car with steelies and caps Quote
FASTBACK340 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Can't wait to see some pics..... Me too….. I'm stopping myself before it starts. I too was thinking 440-6, Steelies, Pink hockey sticks (Keith Marks??), etc. I want a quick-build here. I have the paint, kit, and desire. Let's get it done. Quote
FASTBACK340 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 I might prime tonight…. we'll see how warm the basement is. Quote
FASTBACK340 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks to board member SeanD for stepping up and suppling a key piece I need to do my `Cuda. I have to wait for said part to arrive before I break out the blade….. Quote
FASTBACK340 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Said part arrived. Thanks Sean!!!! Now to warm up the Dremel! Quote
Mike Chernecki Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Who's going to do FC7 / In Violet? I have already ordered the paint. Quote

stump Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 C'mon John, second page and still no pics/progress?.......................................................................................................................................... Looking forward with eager anticipation to watch this one develop John, the combo sounds like a pretty neat set up. Quote
FASTBACK340 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 C'mon John, second page and still no pics/progress?.......................................................................................................................................... Looking forward with eager anticipation to watch this one develop John, the combo sounds like a pretty neat set up. I know…. I know…. But there's a reason. See, JEFFS396 first posted a convertible conversion last month. Great idea and I'm stealing it 100%. I secured the boot from Sean. I've dropped hints I was going to build one hoping Jeff would progress with his, but it hasn't gone that way. I just PM'ed Jeff on this since it was his idea first. THAT'S why I'm dragging my feet. The engine is being painted today and most of the interior will be done tomorrow. I'm cutting off the roof later this afternoon. I have the paint, and there will be some moderate detailing. I should go together without too much drama from what I've seen. I just wanted to get in with a high-impact color on the first go-around with this kit. I'll say it again. Build etiquette. Quote
jeffs396 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 C'mon John, let's see the pics! You didn't steal anything from me, Mother Mopar did build a few 'verts anyway! Thanks for your build manners too John, but no worries here, looking forward to yours! Quote
