Bought my fathers 66 Barracuda, 273 commando, factory ac. pretty simple really, I want to put better brakes, better lights, bigger wheels, and black the whole car out.
This is what I started with......

You said it. Rendering is awesome. I like the vision of tha car.

That thing looks awesome. What are your plans for the suspension to get the stance in the rendering?

Just got back from the shop they are doing a great job.

As for how to get that stance....will be challenging, there are no kits for early a body mopars. Switching to 4 wheel disc brakes with 2 inch drop spindles in front, and I will have a little room to play with torsion bar adjustment. Rear spring relocation kit, with a 1 inch drop should work for the back.

Have you looked at the Reilly Motorsports stuff? They have a complete coilover front suspension that bolts in with no mods and a coilover rear 4 link that is almost a bolt in (have to weld one bar above the axle) available for the 62-66 A-bodies.

So far this year I have added 4 wheel power disc brake kit in place of the 4 wheel manual drums, and some new wheels, 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear. Have the 340 torn apart awaiting a forged crank/pistons. New 4 core aluminum radiator going in this weekend. here is a couple pics of new stuff...
