69 Barracuda FB. The next evolution

More sanding, priming and sweating out in the garage today. Not necessarily in that order. 😅

I'll go back and hit the lower edges all at the same time. For now they'll have to wait till the store can get more primer sealer in stock. This quarter panel got the last can I had here.

The MSD Pro Billet distributor arrived in the mail today. Apparently the cap on it is from some other distributor as there is an open gap between the cap and distributor body. Sooo... Guess I'll add a new cap and rotor kit as well as a set of HEI style plug wires to the shopping list. 🙄

Edit: Looks like I'll also need to pick up a distributor hold down clamp and bolt. The 360 doesn't have one on it.

The dripping of sweat onto the paint was one of the reasons I stopped. 🥵

I can't fit a window unit in the tiny window in the garage. It's only about 12" wide x 18" high. Since I'm renting this place I can't add a mini-split either. I'm seriously thinking about at least getting a stand up portable A/C this payday.
Look for an AC unit intended for a "slideby" window. I have one leftover from my previous house in one of my garages.

Thanks for the tip. I've never heard of those kind. I'll look into it.

@RUSTY Cuda So far so good. I'm going to lay on the creeper and go around the entire bottom all at one time. Gotta get more primer first though.

Spent a little time this evening out there working on the Holly. It's cooled down enough that it's manageable in the garage with the fan.

First impression is that I probably could have bolted this carb on and ran it as is. So far I've just pulled the rear bowl down to the metering plate surface. Unfortunately it had the old style gaskets, so it took a while to, piece by itty bitty piece, remove all of the gasket. That's all for tonight, so I'll get back onto the carb rebuild tomorrow.
