My car was painted factory gold and the wheels are currently black. I am going to replace the tires, so I thought this would be as good of a time as any to sandblast and repaint the 13” rims. I was thinking of painting the wheels white since I am going with blackwall tires and I was thinking the...

Good to know! There is alot of info on the web; some of it is spot on; some … not so much! I have found it’s better to verify before spending $$$! I can probably track down the correct early A pan and pick up tube … but if there was a newer style I could “luck into” when buying a motor/trans...

Thanks for the great info. I found the following info from another online source. The first photo claims to represent “all” the S6 oil pans; not just A bodies. Maybe others can chime in and call truth of fiction? Obviously, the more options available, the better.

Greetings All, Just purchasing a 64 Barracuda project car. Originally was a V8 car with PB automatic, both of which are now gone; as is the driveshaft. For my needs, a newer (early to mid 1970s) 225 slant six and 904 combination would seem to be easy to find, do the job I need it to do, and...

I thought about that and checked the prices at U Haul. For the cost of the rental, I can just about buy all four new passenger radial tires for the Barracuda. The dolly is sitting behind my garage. It’s a ‘one in the hand; two in the bush’ kind deal. I gotcha about the tires though; smarter to...

Good to know! I will keep that in mind … especially if the 13” tire supply completely evaporates! Looks as if it might!

Unfortunately, towing it anywhere to replace the tires just won’t be happening! I can swing it with the HF machine, though.

All good suggestions and thanks for them! I had forgotten that I do have one of those harbor freight manual tire changers and a modified pallet to mount it to (for stablity … and add my weight standing on it and it ain’t going nowhere!) hiding in the garage hoard, so I will probably just order...

They need to be straight, rust free, cheap, and local to Savannah Ga. No shipping, please. Thanks!

Definitely won’t be swapping hubs/axles in this dude’s yard, 200 miles from home. The second solution involves scoring another set of 13” Mopar steel wheels, but since none the junkyards around me ever have anything older than the 1990s any more, that seems unlikely … but I will keep scanning...

Greetings all! Just “inked” the deal to buy a ‘64 Barracuda project car. The car will need to be towed about 200 miles home on a 2 wheel “car dolly” type trailer (driveshaft removed). Of course, dummy me didn’t think about pulling the 2 rear wheels with perfectly dry rotted tires before leaving...

Thanks for posting! Other than the upholstery difference, it sure looks like the same seat bottom to my untrained eye! If not exactly the same, it’s got to be scary close! I had my doubts that the good folks up in the engineering department would bother to design an entirely new seat bottom when...

Yes, I am reasonably sure that the seat bottoms from the 63-66 Valiant 2 door sedans and HTs (and I assume Darts, also) are wider than the Barracuda and Convts. I know that the back seat bottoms on the 4 doors are wider and are curved on the sides to make entering and exiting the back seat easier.
