    1967 (one year only) Radio Delete Plate for BARRACUDA

    The recess on the back is on the top, on the bottom in the pic below. It's there to clear the upper part of the radio dash bezel, which goes right up to the upper edge.

    Looking for nice floor mats

    1 issue with them, they're so nice I put cheap rubber mats on top. Wait, go to a junkyard or fb, the rubber mats in my 62 Dart, a b-body, in pic, are the old rear ones from my 2008 Silverado. I actually have the fronts from the same truck in my 64 Fury and they fit very well. Might find...

    Looking for nice floor mats

    Yes, they do, very well, but most of the time more than or close to the cost of a full carpet. ACC also makes full floor rubber mats, for some models. I have some crappy parts store rubber mats in another car and they are thick enough to have nice grooves, knubs on the back to stay in place...

    1967 (one year only) Radio Delete Plate for BARRACUDA

    It has a unique edge, mine in pic and I don't even recall if it goes around all 4 sides.

    PATINA

    At weeknight cruise-ins the hood is seating and a table for greasy burgers and fries. I can also put a screwdriver on it, anywhere.

    Laura is a gem. Just ordered a set for my 58, can't wait.

    Cleaning Automotive Glass

    Also, the Rain-X on my windshield, after a few hundred mile trip, my blades began to rub off on the windshield and vibrate as they were dragged across. New blades seemed to cure it, but only got a slight drizzle in of use.

    Syracuse Nationals and the Carlisle in 2026

    Bring a small pop up 10x10 tent and some chairs, rain or shine. Or buy a high dollar restore/survivor car and get invited, or know someone with one. I got lucky and knew someone this time.

    Cleaning Automotive Glass

    I used to swear by this stuff, but the key with it and any glass cleaner is after soaking, scrubbing, wiping, let it haze out and dry. Then use a clean towel and buff it by hand. My glass shines, really brings out the scratches and wiper marks. Recently I added a decal to the top of the...

    Syracuse Nationals and the Carlisle in 2026

    Syracuse you have to meander through the various buildings, empty ones too, trees, displays, shady sides of buildings, etc. to stay out of the sun. The rear lot is certain demise on a hot sunny day.

    Is there a list of option codes that don't get stamped on a fender tag?

    And before work, and during lunch. Definitely by year and plant. Get one of those fancy little decode books, they have a section for fender tags. Looking through mine, 1969-1971, it definitely doesn't indicate which would be on a tag vs not. Earlier tags at least have placeholders for various...

    1958 Dodge

    Cool! I often thought the 58 tail lights could be a direct swap into a 62 Plymouth, they look very similar.

    PATINA

    Purposely sold all the shiny cars. I call bs on fake patina, put some dents in it dammit, then we'll talk. Green car changes colors as it looses paint and gets sun baked, and dents. White car is just perfectly shifty. I'll never put anything on to 'preserve' or worse, make it shine.

    A body big block oil pan replacement

    Maybe the design is different from the 1 piece gasket/tray. I can only speak to the 1 piece.
