A great project for a young man. Learn all the parts , what they do and where they go. Did this with my son and he turned out normal.

I would sleep in the garage.

I have worked on hundreds of these Barracuda's and have never seen this accessary. In 1968 everything was an option, so this one is rare. This was operated by a switch on the lower edge of the dash.

I installed a couple of these at the dealership back in the day. If these are aftermarket, you out of luck.

The FSM has a breakdown of all the parts. The picture is of BB, HD pedals which pivot on bearings not bushings.

Good upholstery shops are usually connected to good glass men also body shops and hot rod shops. If all else fails, call them.

Doesn't matter what engine- good job! Speed control on a /6- WOW!

As an old mechanic, I love a really clean engine bay, but the single sexiest thing under the hood is a restored wiper motor.

You're killing me! I need pictures!

I love those trucks. Always thought it would be nice with a small V8.

Toque convertor draining during rest. It is common for these units to drain some fluid from the torque convertor into the pan during non-op. Basically the convertor will be low on oil. Upon engaging a drive gear there will be a hesitation until the convertor first fills with oil to allow and...

We specialize in stupid questions.

Just to save you some grief later- label and organize things as you disassemble. Ziplock bags are your friend.

As expected, your 50yr old car has had modifications for unknown reasons. When building a car it is best to have a clear vision of what you want to end up with. Will it be a restoration, a cruiser, a hot rod, or something in between? Build it your way, have fun, but have your end goal in mind...

Congrats! You will learn a lot of various skills as you progress. Most things I have learned have been through mistakes, but at least I tried and learned. Keep us posted on the progress.

First, this is not a restoration. Second, good luck, keep us posted.

No Skoda?

While we may favor "A" bodies, most of us own/have owned and worked on many cars/Mopars. There is a wealth of mechanical experience here by guys that are willing to share it (inter-laced with a dubious sense of humor). It won't hurt to just ask a question.

Welcome to FABO. You have some skills! As a side note I would recommend determining what class you expect to run in and become familiar with it's requirements, then you will not over-build the car or under build. What are others in your class running? As for the mechanics of it- we can help.

That's the way to build them- for your own enjoyment!

Nice car! Looks like battery hold down is missing. Batteries have been known to roll off the tray and into the fan. Replace with stock parts. On any -new to me car- I always change all the fluids, check/inspect tune-up parts/timing, pull all four wheels to inspect brakes/tires/suspension. Check...

You have the same disease I have, we see the potential in every car that comes our way. "If I had that car , I would do this and that and it would look great!" STOP COLLECTING CARS! Backup and concentrate on the few cars you like best. Just my two cents.

Welcome to the club. It helps to be a little crazy to be a member here.

Mark your torsion bars upon removal- left & right, front & rear- so rotation doesn't change upon re-assembly. Torsion bar?- can be done w/o any cutting. I used urethane bushings on the control arms but didn't like them on the strut arms, so went with rubber on them. Good luck.

Are you going to road race with stock suspention ?

You're late! I have already infiltrated "B" bodies. All Mopar guys are great. Welcome.

That panel is the "floor" in the back. Don't see any need to remove undercoating unless you are planning a concours restoration. As you assemble front end use new parts, otherwise I would recommend just assemble the car with what you got and think about improvements later. We can help with your...

Paint on the inside are factory. This does have ball & trunnion doesn't it?

You are a sick man- and I like you for it.

Yes, you are crazy. You should fit in well here. That will be a nice car when you are done.
