This is a cool build. I always kinda thought the yard dart would end up like this car but I'm glad you did that car the way you did. Glad you and the old man are doing well.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

The Dart isn't cut up nearly enough to become a dedicated race car. There is no sense in cutting up a good car with a vin to make it into a race car when their are so many already out there

[@johnelliott7375]

Good to see you àll! Good afternoon and I am going to wish you all a great weekend

[@rikiwakwak]

Just cause its homemade dont mean its crap. Some of the best things ever, started out life as homemade. Hotrods too ; )

Looking great Jed !!!! 👍🌠💪💪💪

[@xozindustries7451]

It’s coming together good, hopefully it will be running before winter

Left hand drill bits are awesome for pulling out broken off bolts.

Dear ole dad hard at work as well as his truck is always thier when needed the project coming along nicely enjoying all about its....supercharged 440 looks right at home......🙂👍🙏

[@anthonynapier4668]

That 440 looks good in there ,,the headers really fit nice 👍 👍 👍 👍

Nice garage engineering Jed and Dad! It's coming together and should be awesome fast!

Good to see she a auto . Less jerking an a better set up an quicker smoother 👍🏻🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Automatics are still boring and extremely lame, but im not spending the money on this car to make it a stick, the Automatic was cheaper and lighter

[@joew7328]

Dam that's badass 😎 it is coming along very nicely, great work👍

[@richbon9904]

My first car was a 67 barracuda. It's was same color as this one. I left it at moms when I moved out and she called the junk yard. Had a built 340 at the time I. 89s was pretty good. I forgave her. But this brought back the pain

[@NathansMoparGarage]

It's looking better every time.😎

[@Justa4banger79]

Love the wheels. My top 3 rim..... the classic CENTERLINE 🤘😎👍

[@BigfootsnMopars]

That’s going to look awesome when you get those headers ceramic coated .

It's all good man, id rather my viewers be out in their garages working than watching my show

[@mustang06ism]

Great progress keep it up. I want to hear it fire up.✌🏻

[@LowDollarDude]

I have ran super stock springs and lowering blocks for 20 years and no issues as long as you run billet or steel ones.... the extruded aluminum ones would crush after 1-2 seasons (300-500 passes)

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

That's great to hear, I did buy the billet blocks

[@LowDollarDude]

I don't see any issue's

[@richardray9267]

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

Heck ya. Cant wait to hear it.

[@raydeangelis4737]

Don't forget some kind of lateral limiters to keep the engine moving front to back. Motor plates have no horizontal stiffness. And I would also do the mid plate as well. The motor to trans joint is not stiff enough to prevent vertical flexing.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Not doing a midplate, its too late for that and I'm not a fan of them. I'll build limiters

[@STREETCARCULTURE]

Nice one mate, hope all is well!

[@timothyhays1817]

I would be tempted to put a gusset on you angle mounting plate. Just to help prevent it from cracking from vibration and load stress. Looks like a blast to build and break(driving).

[@HansensSpeedShop]

Looks really sweet

[@ryanhallahan2817]

A lot of drag cars are set up with a lean in the rear to counter the torque twist

[@davidcorder95]

Dang Scott the old men going get your butt lol run big men run you go old men

[@michaelsidhu4079]

New grill looks way better than what was in it's place beforehand. Mesh inserts look great for what they are.

[@tombrenes2411]

Hell of a build Great job dad

[@marcosathens8140]

Looking Good!

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

👏👏to Dad! Haha! Or how bout Brother Dad! Anywho, now I got another model to build, I think I've got a 66 Barracuda, unless I can get a 68, you said it is a 68 , right? Jed, one of these days, hopefully in the near future, I'm gonna do another jezebel, well this one didn't turn out too bad, I just need to work on making that hood scoop, my problem halfway through Jezebel I got to feeling bad, ain't felt much better since, yeah yeah I know " excuses, excuses", haha. Anyways, good stuff bud, as always! Rock on 🤘 fellars, rock on! Oooo-weee, that Barely Cuda is looking badass bud, badass!!!!!!

[@tomtee4442]

I put a quick drain in my block after a few years when I pulled it back out. The drain didn't want to drain too easy. I just took it out and put a brass plug with liquid teflon. That way if it gets hit it won't be leaking.

[@79asspin]

Looks great.

[@CarsandCats]

If you can, tie the shock towers into the upper bars you are adding or they will flex, especially when landing a wheelie.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I'll be tieing the shock tower remnants to the front end brace bars

[@davidkeeton6716]

Dad had to have worked for the coal mines at some point in time, because he uses the crap out of some electrical tape. Serious overkill. That converter will only line up all the bolt holes in the flex plate one way. Ask me how I know. All brands are like that.

[@mikerequa820]

Great video ya'll!! That's gonna be sweet ride when ya'll get her done. Headers lookin good 👍 that should be a blast to drive. Good seein ya'll workin together n havin fun the way it should be. Jed you do some killer fabrications. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls time together

would right rear be higher so when car comes off the line under power and twists to that side, it somehow helps the car to hook? Just a guess..

[@CarsandCats]

I can't believe that alternator lines up with no spacers! I never have luck like that.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I was shocked as well lol

Do you have a part number for the manual coupler joint? If not I will dig past videos.. thanks for the awesome content!

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Part number for Jegs 153-013464 you want 3/4 round to 3/4 36 spline

[@icerazar713]

I might be wrong, ( I know nothing about setting up cars like this), but it appears you may have to clearance the front of the rear fenders. It looks dangerously close to the back tires.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Working on the rear suspension still in another video

[@thomasward4505]

Looks like the rear wheel openings have been cut anyway so maybe you should recut them to center the tire in the hole. To make it look a little better

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Or move the rear end back

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

We can't build anything else or larger on our land. The county has strict laws on that

[@MrYz250fman]

Cool video man

[@xozindustries7451]

You do need limit straps when using motor plates to keep it from moving forward and backward in the engine compartment

[@CarsandCats]

They say that, but I never used them on my big block Duster and made many, many passes. Trans mount prevented forward/aft movement.

[@xozindustries7451]

@@CarsandCats ya, as I understand it that’s very hard on the transmission, they can break a case. I don’t use motor plates so I am not speaking from personal experience, just from what racers I have spoken to told me.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I've heard this from a few sources, I'll build be building some with grade 8 threaded rod and Heim joints

[@Jydcuda73]

What did you do for pulley spacers ? I had one made but didn’t realize the Mopar factory 6 hole pattern is 2.83” and standard spacing on all blowers is 2.79”

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I got everything from Dean Bowers, his info is in the last barracuda video. My balancer on this engine is the same symmetrical pattern of all blower pulleys, I got lucky

[@truthweallknow]

Good job Dad, it like ok it's a race car. So who cares it looks good. Clean. New. If you could do the body work and paint it. It will look Sweet.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Paint and body work won't make it faster. And I prefer raw, ugly, and original cars

[@jmr1970]

If I May Jed clean your headers up real good, and I swear using GALVANIZED PAINT on them will have a kind of a silver look and they will not BURN OFF.I promise you thanks love what you do.

[@CarsandCats]

Wipe them down with Ospho and they will never rust again. I have bare metal headers that are 15 years old and no rust.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I planned on painting them with white grill paint or header paint

[@ericwilson2585]

Are you guys going to do anything about those sawsalled rear quarter panels?

[@moe2470]

2 big turbo,s would be much better. Come into the 21,st century. Can't wait wait for the bites.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Visually turbos will never be cooler than a Roots supercharger and the whine from the blower belt is much more satisfying than the whistle of a turbo. As for coming into the 21st century, I atleast put electronic ignition on this car lol

[@drifterengines243]

I think from factory the engine is offset 1” to passenger side

Isn't it a bit early to put an engine in a car body in this condition?

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

The body is great, the under structure is solid and been beefed up. I don't restore anything. I get stop running again so it doesn't just sit around and rot forever. This Barracuda is a 100% track only race car. You cannot legally drive it on the street, and body work/ paint won't make it any better in the slightest
