Here is a photo of the completed underside of the 4 Door Barracuda. The length of this Car is 10 inches longer than its 2 Door Barracuda counterpart and the Wheel Base is 118 inches long.

Here are a couple of pictures showing the green K Frame Bolt Inspection Markings. They conveyed that the Bolts had been torqued to their proper engineering specs.

Here are a series of photos illustrating how Cotter Pins were installed on the assembly line and how we installed the ones used for this project. Bill Embree was an Assembly Line Worker for Chrysler (back in the day) and he told us the method they used when installing the Cotter Pins. He said they slipped the Pins through the hole in the threaded shaft and used a “closed end wrench” to bend them over the Castle Nut. Both splines on the Cotter Pins ended up being bent in the same direction when using this method. Also included with the Assembly Line photos shown below, are pictures of our Cotter Pin & Castle Nut assemblies. In the original photos you can still see remnants of the original orange inspection markings applied by the Assembly Line Workers.

Here are a couple of photos showing the Driver & Passenger side Leaf Spring identification markings. They were formatted from a set of original 340 E Body Springs.

Many have asked about the Inspection Marks that are evident on most Assembly Line Chrysler Cars and inquired about us putting them on this vehicle. I decided to treat this project just like any other OE type restoration and use our research from Survivor Cars as the format. One thing that I was sure to do was to apply them the way an Assembly Line Worker would have done them. Too many restoration shops make their markings look deliberate and manipulated. They do not have the same “imperfect” nuances that are found on Factory assembled cars. They forget that these markings were done in a quick unpurposeful manner, to mark the piece or assembly as being completed. Here are a few photos (in no particular order) showing some of the detailed features of the Inspection Marking process.
