1968 Barracuda Convertible
Hi all.
I bought a '68 Barracuda convertible a couple of weeks ago. I figured I'd start a thread about working the kinks out of the car. The car is pretty solid as it had a bunch of metal work done and then a home sprayed paint job that turned out pretty horribly. The car is a 318 car with a '69 340 intake and Edelbrock four barrel. The car actually runs and drives pretty good. There are some minor issues that need fixing that I'll hopefully address in the next short while. Here's the current to do list two weeks in.
Temperature gauge not working
Fuel gauge not working
Speedometer not working - Fixed, cable was not properly attached to speedo head.
Radio not powering on
Purchase and install speaker
Replace passenger side top cylinder
Fix crappy top installation
Purchase and install splash shields
Fix hood indicator lights
Oil Pressure gauge not working - wire was disconnected at sending unit.
Relocate battery from trunk to stock location - Completed 05/23/16
Repair/replace passenger side A pillar interior trim Complete
Rebuild front suspension
Install horns and get working
Install washer bottle and lines and fix electrical
Window whiskers
Drill fender and install antenna
Buy and install ashtray
Get courtesy/map lights working
Purchase and install kick-down linkage. (just missing progressive linkage from carb).
Replace dash pad
Purchase and install passenger rear "male" seat belt Complete
Purchase and install defrost hoses
Install wheel well moldings
.......... that's the list for now.
