65 Barracuda daily driver
Still finding and figuring out parts. The guy, who sold me the engine and gave me a free later trans, so I could rob it of its larger input shaft and part throttle kickdown, also offered me the dual exhaust out of his '68 Dart convertible for cheap. I'll still have to get pipes made from the factory manifolds to the trans crossmember, but apparently from the crossmember back it's supposed to fit?! I'd also have to modify the crossmember itself.
Well, today I went to a junk yard and there were two '65 Barracudas!!! Both 6 cylinder cars, but one had a/c and the other was a manual. Not much left or very much destroyed, but I did find some amazing parts for cheap:
These plastic headliner covers (?) have always been missing on my car and these have no cracks or any other damage. When I was in that fender bender last year the splash shield was bent quite a bit and I could have still made it usable, but both sides also were rusted through in spots. These only have surface rust and are super straight. I never had these rear set hold down straps. One of my quarter windows are has chips at the side from when the glass wasn't aligned right. I never had these rubber bumpers for the trunk panel - can someone actually give me the right dimensions for where they go? I didn't have a tape measure on me when I took them off. Also took off a trans crossmember to get it modified... All you can see there was $86.80 with all fees and taxes. The cheapest crossmember I saw on ebay was 150 bucks, haha.
