    Quarter panels, let's cut em off and put new ones on.

    Mine had rust at the lower rear, and severe dent damage up top. Quarters are hard to find for '66 Valiant and Barracudas. Luckily, another FABO member parted one out and I bought the section I needed to repair mine. This is just mocked up for now. I will trim the section to fit the existing...

    Formula S stripes on a 1966 fish.

    I don't remember where I sourced my information about the stripes, so I could be wrong. However, the stripes on the car in the photo are consistent with what I have seen on original and restored cars. You may want to look into it further. I have seen several "incorrect" stripes on '66 model...

    Window Frame on a 1966 Barracuda

    The vent window frame is held in by six bolts. Two allen style bolts at the front top of door frame, two under the Barracuda emblem, and two more in the side of the inner door shell. The bracket in the last photo detaches from the vent window frame. I hope these photos help you. It has been...

    No idea where to begin!

    Looks like you've got it. There's no telling what you'll find under 40+ years of who knows what. You should start a build thread in the Members Restorations section and document the whole process. We would love to track your progress.

    No idea where to begin!

    A backing strip is a piece of metal located behind a butt weld or groove weld. It helps eliminate burn through on light gauge sheet metal. When you get a minute, post some progress photos of what you've done.

    No idea where to begin!

    These guys are right on. If you are stripping the car down to bare metal, 320 will take forever. My suggestion with the 320 is if you plan on keeping some of the old finish as a substrate. If you can't afford or don't have access to media blasting equipment, I would suggest buying a D/A sander...
  16. 4spdcuda66

    No idea where to begin!

    Yes, 320 on the whole car. 36 is good for surface prep before laying down filler. It gives the filler something to hold on to. You will want to cut the rust out completely. Your Dart is mostly flat surfaces anyway. You can learn to use the flat block on curves to a degree. There are curved...
  17. 4spdcuda66

    No idea where to begin!

    Don't sand the whole car with 36. 320 on a D/A (dual action) sander or with a sanding block would work well for the whole car. A D/A would be faster. Remove all the trim and emblems before you sand. That roof pillar rust is probably worse than it looks. I think you will be happier in the long...

    best way to repair this?

    Go to Hobby Lobby or an art supply store and get some large water color paper to make templates of the panels you need to make. Cut them to size and transfer them on to the sheet metal. You can get the sheet metal from an auto body paint supply or through J.C. Whitney. If you are new to body...

    door hinge repair

    Check the O.D. of the bushing with a micrometer or caliper and use a drill bit that will give a snug slip fit. If the bit is the same size, you can ream it to perfection. The end goal is to eliminate slop in the hinge. That's how I did mine and they are solid. If the bushing spins in the hole...
