Details:
Exterior/Body
Car
was stripped to bare metal, front/rear glass popped, all trim removed
and repainted in original PPG Matador Red. New white tape stripe from
Phoenix Graphix installed. I have pictures of how much filler
remained on the body before primer went on. It was only floated
enough to make it straight. NO RUST ANYWHERE. NONE. Car was in
amazingly great shape. The bottom of the car was stripped to bare
metal and painted satin black. I found that not many Barracudas(all 3
body styles included) had this interior/exterior color combo from the
factory, so that's why I chose to restore it to stock colors.
