    340 six pack hood closing clearance?

    FWIW, mines a 440, but a shaker base plate only needed a slight bend to "accommodate". As far as the hood brace in my '69, there's just a hint of love..... Rather than cut hood bracing, one could fab 1/4" spacers to lower the K-frame and gain a bit of clearance.

    Trunk lock broke - how to open the trunk?

    I use my foot and a pad with my back against the door jamb for the seat bottom. Push in and then upward a bit. Remove. Un-bolt the seat back. Remove. Peen the end of a rod length into a screwdriver type flat on one end and bend a short 90° on the other. Grab a flashlight and play hit the slot a...

    Side Marker Bezel

    Looks like a lip on the old lamp? Have a press or access to one? Maybe expand the metal similar to the old one (bulge a bit), then find/use a grommet to secure it.

    Spot Welds

    With the HF hole saw I found the spring-loaded pin wouldn't keep the darn thing from walking off the work. I wasted one cutter side PDQ, chipping off all the teeth. Went to pilot drilling 5 or 6 spots, then hit 'em with the cutter, and it was slow going. Started using the cutting fluid and it...

    Spot Welds

    Absolutely! It was a night and day difference even for my HF cutter. If you know a toolmaker they can probably sharpen that worn cutter for you.

    Beeker Hood On A 69 Barracuda

    Thanks Steve. That '69 looks like it needs some hinge section repair. If I had time and mean I think I'd take ya' up on it. I'm strapped with the daughter's wedding coming up and other (med) issues. Don't feel the need to hold it for me.

    Beeker Hood On A 69 Barracuda

    I had a '67 set on mine till I found a '69.... Lol, A beak hood is a little tougher than a flat hood to attach a six pack scoop to. But the inserts on the earlier would surely make it a bit more challenging.:D

    Barracuda Coming Out As A Leopard?

    Thanks to all for your input. Really appreciate it.:) A wire brush and some sanding persistence cleaned up heavies pretty decent. I'm gonna' try the drugs/fill/prime approach on this part. A local blaster guy will get the fenders and hood if I get 'em off and things work out right where he "can...

    Barracuda Coming Out As A Leopard?

    Thanks' for the responses! It is in varying degree for some of the heavier spots. Doesn't seem deep, but it's there and can be felt with finger nail so I'm sure it's more than it seems. I think I'm destined to be doing some strip mining in these spots. A close up.............

    Barracuda Coming Out As A Leopard?

    Lol, before I started to strip down the white on this nose anyone could see it had issues. Of course they were just the tip off of what lies beneath ....... Starting to show it's spots........... The backside had a wax film that came off easy with MS and no evident pops or rust bleed...

    Barracuda Fastback security panel

    Not sure the one I have laying around is a '67. It has a matte black colored covering that is stapled on the edges for the interior. It's not a smooth covering but has a light texture to it. Looks like a matte black coating on the backside, maybe a water resistant product, I don't think it's...

    Difference between 67-68 and 69 Cuda Grill

    Plastic vs. metal and shape. The earlier grilles/surrounds will not fit the '69 header or vice-versa. If by chance it is what you are leading up to, one can fit an earlier setup on a '69. You'll need the earlier hood, header, and grilles/surrounds I do believe.......

    Guys, I think my hood is flying!

    When at rest, can you push the passenger side down or is it firmly on the height stop bumper?
