Barracuda Diaries: February 2013

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. So what does any of that have to do with school? Nothing really, I just have a nasty habit of going off on silly tangents.you're welcome. But there is a reason I bring up school. I'm tempted to take an adult education class in Basic Auto Repair. Offered at a local Tech School. Well, it's something to think about. I'm certainly not lacking support from friends and family! If only my sister ...

Barracuda Diaries: Car Show!

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2013/06/car-show.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. There are never any Barracudas at the car shows out here. Except this one, apparently? I've only been to a couple car shows out here, on Cape Cod. And, really, it's been since we inherited our '67, that I felt drawn to them. I have never seen another Barracuda, though. Lots of Mustangs and Camaros (oh, why am I so drawn to those Bitchin' Camaros? Is it just residual from my Dead Milkmen phase?

Barracuda Diaries: October 2012

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Friday, October 26, 2012. And then i said to myself, 'i may be in over my head'. My sister says, 'it's not dad.it's just a symbol.' And with those words, I realized, this is now my project that she may help with now and then. With the little bit I've done now, I can tell there will be a lot of 'now and thens' in the future because this car is in worse shape than I anticipated. Clever girl that I am, I decided that this...

Barracuda Diaries: September 2012

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. And so it begins. Parts are being removed! The car is to be towed to my house (about 25 miles from where it is now). Because of the headers and exhaust that were replaced way back when, we had about a 3" clearance between car and road surface. This was going to make towing this car a bitch! In theory, it would be quick and easy. But nothing ever is! Seems real, now. Also used my tools, an...

Barracuda Diaries: Yep, It's only Sunday

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2013/04/yep-its-only-sunday.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Sunday, April 14, 2013. Yep, It's only Sunday. This past Friday marked a year since our dad passed away. Steph and I got together for brunch with our brother at one of the local IHOP restaurants. It was Dad's favorite place to go on the rare occasion we got together outside of his house. He always treated, and it was no different this time! Thanks for the food, Dad! Cheers to your painless year. We poured half of it in...

Barracuda Diaries: August 2012

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Friday, August 17, 2012. My split personalities were at odds today. On the one hand, I have a craft fair that I should be preparing for. On the other, that's not until November and today happened to be a beautiful day, instead of the rain that is expected for the weekend. My girlie side went back to sleep while I gathered up my engine parts and cleaning gear. Lessons were learned today. Then, there's this:. Maybe it do...

Barracuda Diaries: December 2012

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Thursday, December 6, 2012. Emotional meltdown turned re-ignition. This post starts a bit personal; but, I promise pictures and actual 'car talk' at the end. Here's a little more of my back story. How could this possibly have anything to do with the rebuilding of a car? The suction of the vacuum tore the carpet for me. I had no choice at that point; but, I had been avoiding the inevitable task, anyway. My fingers had b...

Barracuda Diaries: March 2013

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Class #4: Halfway mark! I'm gonna start by saying that I wish I had some way of getting photos during class. There are times when my teacher is off helping with something else after he says, 'get that thing, do this and that, and I'll come check it out'. But, one picture would certainly be of how dirty I get, and that is not good for cameras and I would most certainly ruin my phone! I hear fr...

Barracuda Diaries: Toys

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2013/04/toys.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. It's late in the day to be posting, I know. My usual posts are first thing in the morning, but I slept in today! I stayed up late last night. I took advantage of not having class this week. Pardon me, while I remind everyone that I'm a girl.Hubby was out playing poker, I had the house to myself, and I had ice cream for dinner while I watched Hell's Kitchen. Picture perfect! Read all about it.

Barracuda Diaries: May 2013

http://barracudadiaries.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

This girl's attempt to get Dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda back on the road. Eventually. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Let's see.where did I leave off? Not sure how this post will go. Flying by the seat of my pants, using pictures from Dan's phone. Not entirely sure of his process, but you welders/pre-fabbers may know? Old bracket, I think? Drilling holes and stuff.clamps.welding. And side by side. Still not over the tire fiasco! I need new rims. I have 4 cheap tires in my shed now. Wednesday, May 1, 2013.
