    2 decade restoration

    Great work! What did you use to clean your center console? What type of paint did you use when you put it back in?

    Front Suspension Rebuild Issues

    Hello everyone - I had a little time over the weekend to adjust the caster. I moved the upper control arm out in the front, and moved the rear in as far as possible on both sides. I then centered the steering wheel, by strapping it to the brake pedal so that it would not move, and stay...

    Front Suspension Rebuild Issues

    These are all great points from everyone. I will go through all of the recommendations everyone has given and hopefully I will get to a better point. I researched all of the parts that were purchased for the car, and they all were correct. I'll need to try and ensure the steering box is...

    Front Suspension Rebuild Issues

    Hello FABO - I recently put front disc brakes on my 66 Barracuda. In the process, I replaced the front strut rod bushings(new), idler arm (new), lower and upper control arms(used), tie rod ends(new). It is a mixture of new and used parts. Prior to the replacement the car was drivable, but...

    BALL JOINT QUESTION

    This may be elementary but make sure you check the direction in which you insert the ball joint. I just replaced the ball joints on both side of my 66 Barracuda and I inserted them one way, and they would not fit in the hole. I inserted them from the opposite direction and they went all the...

    14 inch big bolt steelies and disc brakes

    RedFish, your right, I won't have my left hand threads anymore. One thing I was concerned about was the center bore. I ran across some rims today, and the bolt pattern lined up, but the problem was the center bore was not big enough to allow the rim to get on. Ugghhhh!! Is there a standard...

    14 inch big bolt steelies and disc brakes

    Now I'm slightly confused. I thought that the rotors were set up for big bolt pattern lugs. On the rotor the measurement from behind the lug to the center of the next one across is 4 1/2 and the diameter of the center hub is 2 3/4. I thought the big bolts started at 5.5 for the same...

    14 inch big bolt steelies and disc brakes

    Hello FABO - I see many posts on rim size and its great information. I recently found a disc brake setup off of a 65 Barracuda that I am putting on my 66 Barracuda. The original Tims I had on my 66 are SBP steelies with dog dish hubcaps. I would like to keep my black rim and dog dish look...

    We've been working SLOWLY on our 66 Plymouth Barracuda which has a 65 Dodge Dart front clip. We've been at this for about 8 years, and making decent progress. Before spring 2021 I plan on re-doing the front end suspension and adding front disc brakes. I recently discovered that the...

    I have a set of original Harold Johnson Spitfires. What would one recommend to connect the headers to the down pipe. Should I find a collector piece bolt plate to weld onto the base of the pipe? What kind of pipe junction should I be looking for in order to connect the headers to the rest of...

    Door Fix Questions

    Hello FABO - On my 66 Barracuda, I would like to use the indented outer skin on my newer door, which is the white one, and the silver door is the older one with operating inside. The silver door had a dent in it that I tried to fix but I couldn't quite form it. I was considering cutting the...

    The holy grail of motor mounts

    Jim - Do you think the 2710 motor mount will work for a 318 in a 66 Barracuda? My current mounts are sagging and my steering rod is rubbing a starter bolt. Thanks!

    Recommendations on K-Frame Installation

    Hello FABO! I just received a K Frame today for my 66 Barracuda. IT has surface rust, which I plan on sanding down. My question is how should I go about painting it. Should I take it to the bare metal prime it and paint it. If so are there any recommendations on types of paint for the K...

    Alternator Not Charging

    One other question is do I have to use the old style VR or will the newer ones work as well?

    Alternator Not Charging

    That's what I was thinking as well. Less expensive than an alternator, so I will pick one up.
