Lots of back glass out there. The trick is to find it local because no one's going to ship it. When I bought my 65 Barracuda a couple of years back it came with 3 of them.

Thanks for the info guys. So the butyl doesn't really do anything to hold the glass or the seal in the car (that's what the lock strip is for), it's just to keep the leaks out. I am fortunate that both pinch welds in the front and back were very clean without a speck of rust on them and now they...

I'm about to install the back glass on my 65 Cuda. I have a friend who's installed a bunch of glass over the years (none of them in a car like this) and he tells me there's no need for any kind of adhesive. He seems sure that some kind of rope in the front side of the glass will keep the rubber...

Rainier already has a thread here. ;) http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=106974

None of the 3 I have could be considered "nice". ;)

I don't think they're that rare. When I bought my 65 Barracuda a couple years back it came with 3 of em.

To steal a line from Blazing Saddles, "Food makes me sick". :D I did the drivers side today. I ain't touching the other side as I have a complete door to bolt on that pretty much has all the parts on it. No worries about putting glass in, whiskers on, ect. Just have to do a little minor body...

Update. I followed Cudamarks advice and it did the trick. It sure as hell was a pain in the *** job though, even with an extra pair of hands to do the job. If I ever had to work in a glass shop for a living I think I'd have to hang myself in the first month. LOL Thanks for the info Mark. The...

OK, now I'm getting a bit confused. Quite a while back I was asking questions in here about how to and in what order things go together. On friday I found the old post and went by that. Vent and quarter windows first, then the door glass. Now I'm getting conflicting info. I know I can get the...

Now that I have my vent windows and quarter windows in, today was supposed to be the day to put in the door glass. Anyone got some tips on doing this? So far I've tried to get the window in with the reg still bolted into the door and that hasn't worked to well. Then I tried taking the track off...

Thanks for the reply Mark but I got both sides in this morning. It just took quite a bit of wiggling and getting the reg in just the right place. The interior is gutted right now other than the dash and seats. Now it's time to put the door glass in and get it all adjusted. I also have to go...

I just came in from the shop after wrestling with my quarter windows. Is it even possible to get the window track on the regulator with the regulator still in the car or does it have to go in place as a unit. There just doesn't seem to be enough room down there to get the track on both regulator...

I have a 65 Cuda and I've decided that I'm not even going to put the back seat back in. Some form of speakers will go back there. My car will end up being a 2 seater by the time I get it on the road. The back seat is pretty much useless anyways unless you have little kids. Mine are both off to...

I've haven't got around to putting it in yet (honey-do's) but it will all be cleaned up well before it goes in the car. ;) Thanks everyone.8)

Thanks for the quick answer 65BCODA. I suppose I could have figured that one out on my own once I crawled under the dash but I'm getting old and am not looking forward to laying on my back to hook all this stuff back up. It ain't putting itself back together though so back out to the shop I go...

One more question here because wiring is not my strong suit. What the hell is this and where does it go?

Dash is in and I'll do the fusebox later thanks to your info Blownfish. Even though it's not parts related you got my good guy alert. It felt so great sitting in my 65 with the seats in and the B&M shifter I installed last week and actually seeing a dashboard while making engine noises when...

Thanks for the quick reply Blownfish. 8) I'm heading out to the shop right now to start putting it back in. P.S. I love your car. It's the coolest looking early Cuda I've ever seen. Outstanding job on it guy.:thumleft:

I just finished getting my dash painted and back together but before I put it in the car I'd like to put the fusebox and harness back in to make life easier. Being that this is my first Mopar I'm not exactly sure where it goes because I didn't take the car apart. I'm assuming it should be...

When I bought my 65 it came with 3 of em.

I bought my 95% rust free 65 Barracuda a little over a year ago for $2500 Canadian. I might have paid a little to much for it but I didn't dicker on the price at all because I bought it off a buddy of mine who I trusted, and still do. The Cuda was originally a 273 Commando/auto car but didn't...

Thanks again Rick for the great info and pics. This really helps me out a lot. NO DRINKING!!!:shock: I don't start to function normally in the shop until I've got 2 or 3 beers in me.:drinkers::mrgreen:

Thank you for the info Rick.8) My doors are hung and the gaps are where I want them but my biggest problem is that I didn't take this car apart in the first place so I'm putting it back together kinda blind. It would be soooo much easier if I was the one who took it apart. ;) If I'm getting this...

I just finished cleaning up my vent window assy's and was going to install them in the doors. I also need to install the side glass and tracks too. What should go in first, the vents, the sides, or does it matter one way or the other? I don't want to start putting it together just to have to...

Thanks for the advise guys. I'll just wait til I get the motor and trans in the car and check it out then. The trans that came out of the car was a ball and trunion style and the driveshaft is a couple inches shorter but the trans is buried under a bunch of junk so I can't compare it to the new...

I thought so. I guess it's better being too long rather than too short. ;) :toothy10:

A couple of weeks back I picked up a 318/904 combo out of a 76 Valiant 4 door sedan. My question is, will the driveshaft fit or will I have to cut it down? This will be going into a 65 Barracuda that was originaly 273 Commando/904 car. I spent a couple of hours today cleaning up the driveshaft...

I guess it must have been a 273 then, but I remember her saying many a time that it was a 318 4 brl. Probably just a line from the salesman. Thanks for the replies guys.

OK, I'm learning stuff here but isn't the underhood dimensions of the Cuda and the Valiant the same in 65 so how would that make any difference?

The biggest baddest motor you could get in a 65 Cuda was a 273 yet in 1968 my Mom bought a 65 Valiant with a 318 4 brl and it was a pretty quick little car for a stocker. The kid she sold it to took me for a ride in it before he wrapped it around a pole a couple weeks later and that little car...
