this is the top ball joint off my '66 Barracuda. it's a two-piece ball so it has friction when articulating but virtually no friction when twisting as only half of the ball needs to turn with the steering.

this may explain i'll convert both Imperial and metric from mounting face to ball joint socket. RH B Body 45mm 1.750 inches LH B Body 55mm 2.125 inches '66 A body 70mm 2.750 inches the B Body measurements should be the same but both i have are from different...

sorting out the floors on my Barracuda with the screen out, the door off and the floor cut out it's visually quite scary how little metal there is holding the car together. I would say one main reason for fitting them is to stop or reduce the cabin folding around the occupants in a head on or...

1964 Barracuda Ebay UK this sort of thing? seems a bit steep on price to me but i have no idea really.

Still in the mocking up stage to see whats required, what i need to do and don't need to do. the K frame is now 1/4 inch further forward and slightly lowered, the sump is notched and the rack is in what i'm sure will be its permanent resting place. i know what you're thinking. 'the...

thought you'd like to see a before and after from underneath. extra hole is for the handbrake cable.

More mocking.

Very true. but i'm sure on the packaging it wont say "also useful to cover up the sh**iest of welds and hide the fact there are no welds in large areas" like the original 'welder' had used it for. the old seam sealer used when the vehicle body was assembled in '66 is flaking off and will need...

and i don't need loads of sealer to hide the welds.

possibly the difference is for different seat types? bucket seats in the Barracuda. this was before i popped the floors back out.

I'm redoing some floor pans on a '66 Barracuda that someone made a right dogs dinner of. i can see where the slight differences are and need addressing to fit properly. where the pliers point the floor is flat as there is the brace for the seat mounting underneath. the right hand seat...
