    [FOR SALE] '65 Barracuda Project -- $9500 OBO

    I am having a pretty hard time getting myself to actually sell my '65 Barracuda but that's life I guess. I think I expected I'd keep this car forever so no corners were cut in the restoration. I threw thousands of hours and even more dollars at it over the years. Rust was removed inside and...

    Seat track questions!

    Alright guys, I feel pretty dumb but I cannot figure out how these tracks should properly go. They are 66 dart seats going into my 65 barracuda. (To allow for a coffin console) Sadly, I do not even have the original holes in my replaced floor to match them up with. Is there a drivers/passenger...

    [WANTED] Louver Punching— Anyone still do it near Missouri?

    Hey Fabo— I know I know, they are way out of style, but I still love em. The two most renowned guys who punched louvers in Kansas City have passed away over the last decade and I cannot seem to find anyone who still does it. Any recommendations other than “don’t do it” would be greatly...

    How do I replace this piece? (1965 fish driver-door hinge)

    This repair kit is about all I can find but my bushing appears to have a lip on the top and bottom compared to the pictured kit? Mine is not repairable, as it is heavy rusted out. (Feel free to call me an idiot if this is super obvious) Thanks!

    Beginner Question: How to tell 273LA from 318?

    Admittedly, I am relatively new to mopar restoration. I purchased a 65' barracuda about two months ago under the pretenses that this was the original 273 but am starting to think I have been bamboozled! That being said, I am not sure how to tell if it has been swapped without pulling it out...
