Progress continues - slowly. The guy that was going to do the body/paint is having health issues, so no idea when the car is going to be painted now (if anyone knows a body/paint guy on the east coast that's reasonable, let me know). Everything suspension related on the car is crusty - most of...

Does the choke plate move at all? Price with shipping to NC?

How about the drip rail moulding? Looks to be in decent shape in the photos ...

Thanks - I'll definitely check that area. No issues on the surface, but I haven't stripped it back yet. The body seams are pretty wild - I had to cut out a small piece in the roofline by removing the lead, cutting out the rusted seam, and replacing with fresh metal and weld, rather than lead.

Cleaned it out.

Yes, 4 wheels, two of them with mounted tires. The other two rims are still unopened in their original packaging.

Got a full set of 7/16 RH cragar lug nuts w/ center washer (A-09005-4) but I'm not keen on selling those. Waited almost a year and a half for those to be shipped.

The heat riser valve on mine was seized in a shitty position - got it out, but part of the cast iron on the one side gave way. I can probably throw some weld that may not last, or try to find one that's not damaged. Got one? Let me know.

Things always go slower than you expect - I've finished completely stripping the 66. No glass, no chrome, no trim, no interior, no handles/locks/etc, removed dash pad, removed dash components. I've finally found a local painter with availability (if his health holds out, the good ones seem to be...

Selling a set of 4 Cragar 14x6 SBP rims (1425793402B), never mounted/used. Two have new cooper cobra radial g/ts (date code 2020, never drive on, P215/70R-14 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T SL). Bought for my 66' Barracuda but I decided to go with a front disc brake upgrade which requires more...

Jim, you're an artisan.

Haven't updated in a while - trim is all removed, only chrome is the vent windows on the door. Patched a couple of small bubbling spots on the passenger side door, welded up the passenger side chrysler emblem. Ended up botching the removal of the drivers side drip rail (followed some bad advice...

Specifically looking for good shape drip rail, potentially rear quarter trim if price is right.

I'm a purist and still like the look. Dig the changes!

Hey JD - dont plan on heading to it. And thanks for checking on body/paint!

If anyone needs any disassembly type photos of any areas of their 66' barracuda, please let me know. It's apart and it's easy to get a shot of what appears to be a stock 66 formula s. I was able to help @dschem above with his request.

Photos attached. Still had the blue streak goodyear in the trunk. Looks rough, but I think it's gonna clean up fine. Not quite ready for paint, but getting closer (once I finally locate a place to paint it in NC).

So finally back at it now that I have some garage space again - I've pulled the complete drivetrain, stripped the interior and removed the exterior trim. All in all, the body doesn't seem to be hiding a lot. I found some rust behind the leaded roof to pillar seam, cut that out and welded in a...

Hows the drip rail trim and the rear quarter trim look?

Digging the work!

I know yall are probably getting tired of text only posts, but the latest update - I had to drill out the main A1 voltage post. There was no removing it, both sides were melted. I ended up adding a new fusible link and just bypassing the bulkhead connector and drilling it out. I tinned all of...

Got the cluster back together and pulled the 12v from the round connector out to the new IVR ... started up, ran for about 5 seconds, and blew the fusible link. Pulled the cluster back out, yet again ... found the A1 hot wire to the ammeter with a hot to the touch crimp and a worn spot on the...

Got some tuneup parts today. The plug wires weren't terrible, but it's cheap. Got a new cap and rotor, both apparently for a 66 273 w/ dual points, but they didn't fit. The rotor has some pretty good scoring on the tab, I'll probably just have to order one of those. The cap is servicable, I...

Thanks. No disc, no power steering, no AC. I'll probably be adding AC this winter, it's just too brutal around here in the summers to not have it. I'll probably also eventually do a disc conversion. The power steering - up in the air. It's nice for the city, but the car is light enough that it's...

Scratch the taillight question - I think an SMP S23 will replace the pin perfectly.

So, I got the carb back in. It's a lot more responsive, but still runs like ****. I'm going to have to retune the carb with a vacuum gauge and a timing light and re-check the timing. It drives, but hesitates some. I haven't bothered to do more than do a rough adjustment on the idle air screws...

While waiting on gauge/dash parts to come in (getting going on that this weekend), I started working on the original Carter AFB 4121S carb. The carb was pretty filthy and the fast idle didn't seem to be working correctly. Reason enough to get a rebuild kit and go through it. It still had the...

I'm in Raleigh. I'll check there, haven't looked yet. I have 3 of the 4 correct wheel covers. I'll probably end up going with some cragers at some point.

Ever since I sold my 64 Barracuda (a 273, 3 on the tree, on here) about 9-10 years ago, I've been searching for another. I've had a lot of rough drivers in between - two Checker Marathons, a 67 Barracuda, a 68 Datsun 1600, a 66 Ford F100 longbed, and a couple of other rough cars. After I got...

PM sent. Fender tag indicates red vinyl interior, bright red exterior ... no stripe, but dealers often added the stripes afterwards.
