    No worries here. I'm just glad to have the car back after so long!

    I take no offense! It is how we all learn. Had it not been for a member pointing it out, the dash pod centers would not have been blacked out. I can point out a few things about it but hey, it is a damn nice car and I am proud of it. It is one rare A-Body that was saved. It went through...

    I've seen wood grain dashes seem to have a black lower half.

    @jimharvard I don't follow you on the flat black. Here is the dash before restoration.

    They had it for nine years. They worked on it off and on for about seven of them.

    This car did not have a rear defroster. The speaker option is dealer installed. Not sure why there are two.

    To my knowledge the motor is stock, not sure about the rings. There is definitely a smokey burnout in this car's future once it is broken in and I put some meats on it.

    It was great driving it. The sound is good, shifts fine, tracks true. I'm really happy with it.

    They are both speakers. BTW, I need to thank you again for your making those templates for my fender emblems!

    1969 'cuda 383 4-speed

    It showed Tuesday night. I was hoping to get some good pictures before posting much but the cat is out of the bag. As far as road test, I drove it straight to my storage about thirty minutes away.

    Thank you. Can't wait for the weather to get better.

    Yes. The enclosed trailer was not sealed well so it arrived a bit grimey as you can see in the pic.

    Here is the dash after they blacked out the pods. You can see the speaker control to the right of the lighter.

    After further investigation, the rear speakers were optional as dealer installed! I would assume there are not many out there.

    Thanks for finding that. I am getting a set that I can restore.

    Retractor Seat Belt Clearance Issue

    Mine are installed correctly but there are no bends in them. Another thing tha I need to consider, I have not seen any bench seat cars. My '71 Duster did not have retractors and I wonder if a bench seat '69 Barracuda should even have them. Here is a pic of my Duster.

    Retractor Seat Belt Clearance Issue

    I am not yet convinced about the belt on inside being correct. I have been looking at a bunch of cars and most have the belt on the outside!

    Retractor Seat Belt Clearance Issue

    The winding is not the issue, it's the housing. I need to go out to my storage tomorrow and check something out. I have been studying a lot of photos of other cars and I have hunch. I will share my findings tomorrow.

    Retractor Seat Belt Clearance Issue

    I wonder if the retractors are the same for bench and bucket and what the difference would be.

    That sounds good to me too!

    Retractor Seat Belt Clearance Issue

    It will pivot forward and down. I am now of the opinion that the seat belt retractor and belt assembly does belong on the outside of the plastic cover and once I raise the seat with the spacers the issue will be resolved.
