It looks okay but just wasn't to my preference. After all we do what suits our own fancy. My car is Red on Red and I like that, others are gold or something else. I guess it boils down to what works for a specific person. I was just wondering if there was an actual original scheme because all...

Yea, that looks better to me. I believe I will go that route. I may come back here later and submit pictures after I am done with them. Thanks!

So, the fish background was both blue and red. Was that the official coloring? I thought the fish background would be all blue the same as the fish emblem on the front grill. Not sure I like the red and blue especially since my car is Red on Red, getting a non-conflicting red color for that...

I was wondering what the official paint scheme is supposed to be for the rear window trim. My understanding is that it is not all just shiny chrome but that there is also supposed to be some of it painted black. Could someone let me know what the official paint scheme should be and where? I...

Interesting, I don't have that little flattened out area. Mine is just straight on both sides. It looks like the bottom of the J hook actually rests on the flat area. Not sure if I will be able to mount this. May be the reason is was just loose in the trunk when I got the car 20+ years ago. I...

I have the spring loaded prop rod for the trunk on my 66 Barracuda, however, when looking to install it I find that there is no hole in the trunk lid for the upper end to go in. Can someone who has the prop rod on their car get a measurement where the hole should be for proper operation? The...

Thanks for the feedback! Carpet is now all fitted, now just need to lock it in with the trim pieces. At 70 I think I'm getting too old for this stuff - takes me three times longer to do things now. I should have done all this 20 years ago when I first started this project.

It's been a while since I started on this (lots of life issues getting in the way), but this past week I finally got back on this. For the cardboard liner I ended up using Ram Board. The contractor who was redoing our master bath used this material to protect the floors etc during his process...

Thanks for the input. I was wondering about that but wasn't sure it came in big enough dimensions. Your carpet looks Great! I wish I had the chrome piece for the fuel inlet pipe, that looks really nice.

well that made me really laugh. Now if you could only figure out how to reverse the process.

Thanks, I actually purchased this material to make new kick panels for the front. I think it's a little too thick for the back of the seat which folds down to extend the deck area. The piece that was in there measures .05" thick but it pretty much desintegrated when I pulled it out. The same...

I have been working on a 66 Barracuda (20+ years now) but I am now getting ready to install carpets. Already purchased the carpets but have a couple questions for anyone who might have undergone this task. I know there was a cardboard lining that went under the carpet on the back of the back...

Thanks, not sure how I missed that - eyes must not be as good as they used to be. :)

Thanks for the feedback. Looking online it appears a lot of different ones available. Is there anything in particular I should know on which one to get? The RTE link seems pretty straight forward fix provided I get the correct one.

I've determined that my gauges problem is a bad voltage limiter. Investigation shows that the wire wrapped around the bimetal strip that is supposed to pulse the 12v is broken where it attaches to the case of the fuel gauge meter. Pretty small wire, don't know anything about these, but it is...
