A-body help needed for my 65 Barracuda

I wouldn't make any decisions on starting with a new body until you take it too a good frame shop, and don't take the adjusters word on it's fixability either, that car looks worse than it actually is.

My buddy has a 65 that was hit so hard that the rear bumper was literally on top of the rear tire, another buddy who owns a local body shop pulled it out and it came out great, all the door gaps, body lines, floor pans and even the frame rails were all lined up perfectly when he got done, the only problem you will run into is finding a good frame guy that isn't lazy, most just want to do quick fixes and yours will need a good 4-5 hours on the rack give or take, my buddy's only took a little over 4 hours on the rack. A frame guy that knows what he is doing can pull that out, it may be a good idea if you offer to strip everything out of his way though, the complete interior, rear window, gas tank and rear bumper will need to be removed first.

I seriously doubt you will need any body parts since it doesn't seem to have any rust issues, the quarters will pop out once the frame is back where it should be, they will probably need to be dallied in places, but not replaced, the repairs needed after it is pulled will be minor compared to starting with a new body, and clean bodies are not that easy to find, even in the southwest. My uncle lives in Tuscon and it took him years to find me quarters for my car, and even my so called rust free quarters I got from the car we parted ended up needing rust repairs.

I agree with Don about the back window, they are not rare or hard to find, in fact, it is probably the easiest part to find for these cars. Think about it, what is the first part everyone keeps when they part one out? the back window! There is probably 4 windows in the world for every car still on the road, I have 5 or 6 of them myself, I've had them given to me at swap meets by guys that thought they were rare but got tired of dragging them around.
