I've got the shock brackets, just need to buy the U-bolts. Thank you, guys for your knowledge and help.

I'm replacing my 7 1/4 with an 8 3/4 rear. Just ordered leaf springs and shackles. Does anyone know what size diameter and length u-bolts I should need to properly mount the 8 3/4? Thanks, any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to get this 66 Barracuda off the rotisserie. Jim

I've never seen original floor pans that clean! Great find. Good luck with the build. Jim

I have a question for anyone that has ever used raptor liner as an undercoating. When taping around the engine bay area along the sub frame, where do most people tape to separate the frame rails from the engine compartment. Seems like the frame rails go right into the engine bay and I don't want...

Well I think it's time I revive this thread! I've been slowly working on the car over the past year and a half. Since then I've replaced both lower quarters, finished the cowl including painting the inside of the cowl body color and cleaned up some minor bodywork issues. I've purchased an 8 3/4...

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm getting ready to send my 8 3/4 rear in to be powder coated but I need some type of clip on the axle to hold the brake lines. Anyone know of anything that would weld on to the axle good for that purpose? Has anyone ever replaced those clips before? Mine were...

Last week I was able to get some work done on the car, I sprayed epoxy primer on the interior floors, engine bay and uderside. Now today i;m going to do a little patch work (bondo/fibral) to the underside welds of the floor pan patches since i don't really care for the look of the seam sealer on...

Does anyone know where to purchase new 1/4 turn clips that hold those headliner retainers in on the left and right sides? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jim

afbill, thats some real nice fab work on those trunk extensions! Thats what I'm getting ready to do on my cuda when I install my 1/4 patches. I'm the same as you, new to all this metal fab work, but loving it. Keep up with the progress, your doing a great job. Jim

Cars looking real good in primer. Can't wait to see your color you chose. Keep up with the good work! Jim

Can anyone tell me if the headlight buckets and radiator support(front end components behind the grilles) on the 66 barracudas were painted black or body color from the factory? Thanks.

Well it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Just started working on it about a month and a half ago when it cooled off around here. I've been wire wheeling and sandblasting the underside of the car getting it ready for some epoxy primer. Also finished the drivers side fender patch...

Settintredz, beautiful work your doin there! Did you say that color was a B5 blue or a torquise? Thats the EXACT color I've been looking for my 66 cuda, would you mind sharing? I have been unable to find out what it is called. Keep up the great work! Jim

FF I purchased my floor pans from Auto Body Specialties for 120.00 each and my quarter and fender patches from Laysons Restorations. They are all still available. The foorpans fit real nice. Jim

Glad to see you are back at it. I can relate, living in Florida it's just too hot during the summer hence I 've barely done any work since March. Keep at it and good luck! Jim http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=164515

Sorry not too much to report on the cuda. I was out sanding and wire wheeling the underside today for about 45 minutes and thats all I could stand in this heat and humidity in Florida. This may turn out to be a fall, winter and spring hobby. Jim

Nice looking cuda! Can't wait to see your progress. Jim

Nice fab work on the fender.

Finally got the car on the rotisserie today, I'm so excited! Now I can start working on the underside. Going to the paint shop monday to pick out the paint so I can get the inner cowl and underside of the outer cowl painted before I weld them together. The color I picked out is almost like a...

Thats some real nice work your doing!What color are you thinking about painting it? Lookin good, I'll be watching for your progress. Jim

Welcome! Glad to see another early cuda being saved. Look forward to seeing your resto thread if you start one. I'm still learning alot about restoring cars like you but if there is anything I can do for you don't hesitate to PM me. Good luck. Jim O:)

Over the last 2 weeks I've been busy separating(drilling spot welds) the new inner and outer cowls i got, compliments of dart64gt(thanks). Got the old cowls off, welds ground down, weld surfaces cleaned and primered, and the new inner cowl fitted and in place. Will weld it in Sunday and start...

Looking good Earl! Hope mine looks that good when painted. Keep up the great work. Jim

I got my floor pans at Auto Body Specialties $120 each. Kinda expensive, but they fit real nice. Nice car you've got there, I'll be watching your progress closely as I'm doing a resto on my 66 cuda now also. Jim

Welcome to FABO! Looks like you've got a real nice car to do a resto on. You'll be amazed at the wealth of knowledge here on FABO. Can't wait to see all the progress you will make. What are your plans for the car? Good luck! Jim

I haven't done anything on the car in the last two weekends, I'm waiting for my new to me inner cowl to arrive. Meanwhile I've managed to build myself a rotisserie. It's not quite done yet, theres still a few minor details to work out. Hopefully I'll have the car mounted on it just after I get...

Welcome to FABO. Glad to see another early Barracuda about to be restored. Mine is in progress as I post this. Good luck and keep the progress coming. Jim http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=164515

You've got some real talent working with metal and that paint looks GREAT! Jim

Autobody Specialties and Laysons Restorations both carry quarter panel patch panels for the 67-69 barracuda. Jim

Anyone have an extra inner cowl just laying around collecting dust and rust?:prayer:
