Reflections You think this would get some looks on the highway but it didn't. It towed well and was easy to back into the garage. Up till now the exhaust was still in the car but it needed to come out so could tow it. Because of the rust I just cut it above the differential which made it easy to remove. |
Back on the Road! (Sort Of) Well I know it has been quite some time from my last update in part because I need to get the car to class where I can work on it. The class is at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria CA about 25 miles from my house in Lompoc. When I was working on my Barracuda I used a friend's trailer and my brothers truck a logistical nightmare. I now have my own truck and living in an association I needed to come up with a different way of getting the car to class. This idea was first conceived when I was working on the Barracuda but wasn't practical. The assembly is quite simple, a 3" angle in the rear bolted in the factory frame location with the frame hardware, a 3" channel across the front and the 3" tube add a pair of custom u-bolts and homemade tie plate. The electrical was connected into the factory harness to the factory taillights, plate mounted along with a light. All topped of with current registration and insurance (making it legal in California). | ||
