    Lovely Day in St David Az

    VERY nice. I always like to see some cars we don't see every day get the love they deserve. I love 67-69 Barracudas and Darts, 70-up Darts/Swingers/Demons and early A Darts as much as the next guy, but how often do we see a beautiful 66 d door HT Signet? I LOVE it.

    Time to play "Which Color Windlace is it?"

    That was my first thought. even without direct sunlight, some fading can still occur.

    Who Is In the Market for Early ABodies These Days?

    Wow. Me like. That color is perfect for that car. I don't think I would like it on my 69 Barracuda FB, but it is stunning on your car. Post more pics please.

    Who Is In the Market for Early ABodies These Days?

    Hey, @RustyRatRod, I'll answer this one for you. Not having a job is what this whole 'Retired' thing is all about. I retired on Jan 3, 2015. I am super busy with my car hobby, helping people with things and my little powder coating business, but it aint a JOB. :rofl:

    Who Is In the Market for Early ABodies These Days?

    There are some early A Bodies I really like, and some that are just OK (to me). Just like some people prefer 65-66 Mustangs over 67-68s. Just like some people prefer 2nd gen Camaros over 67-69 models. That is what makes our hobby so great. I like my 69 Barracuda Fastback better than E Body cars...

    First Show with My Restored Car!

    @ChrisRomello, I don't know where to start. First, AWESOME ride! Is that a 69 Barracuda gas door? whoever frenched that in did an amazing job. Is it on bags? I think it is really cool that you did this to a beautiful more door car. I love the color. I like the wheels, too. What are they? Great job.

    LS Swap '65 Valiant

    I'm not gonna hit the RED X on you, but I will say it would not surprise me.

    LS Swap '65 Valiant

    Who makes a kit to install an LS in an early Mopar A body? You do! Who makes headers for an early Mopar A body with an LS? You do! Who makes a wiring harness for an early Mopar A body with an LS? You do! My question is Why! I am NOT being rude. I know it is YOUR car. Please do what you want...

    Rolled back odometer anyone?

    I actually rolled the odometer forward on my 69 Barracuda. When I restored it the first time about 30 years ago, it had about 98,000 miles on it. I set it at 00000. I figured that was fair since 1) absolutely everything was new or refurbished; and 2) I actually added 2,000 miles to it.

    Valiant Limo?

    There was a show n several years ago (might have been on Speed Network) about a guy who owned a company in Mexico that turned cars into limos. There were some very interesting cars being converted, and the process was fun to watch.

    Found this 383, worth it for my 65?

    Lots of opinions. An early A with a big block could be fun. However, in my humble opinion, you would be better off with a stout small block for several reasons. 1. 400 HP from a small block is easy without stroking. 2. A big block will be more difficult to install and run headers / exhaust...

    Really!!!! sub standard repair.

    I consider myself to be a pretty good cutter, welder, fabricator, etc. But then I watch shows like Bitchin Rides where I see te work of TRUE artists, and I feel like a hack. WOW! I am impressed. I would think the dash and steering wheel/column would be the easiest part. The steering parts...

    Turbo wagon

    I don't know much about /6s, but wouldn't a small 4 barrel be better?

    Let the tubbing begin.

    Sounds AMAZING. Is it too early to ask about a color / graphics scheme? I can picture B5 Blue.

    Laysons patch panel

    I would not hesitate to buy anything from Laysons. I have always been satisfied with parts from Laysons. Plus, if there is a problem, you know they will take care of it.

    65 Barracuda rear window glass

    I saw that show. I think it was Desert Valley Auto? Those guys were clowns. They did SHODDY work, and then advertised the cars as completely restored. They were all the time saying that this part or that part just can't be found. I practically yelled at the TV to just Google it, and you'll find...

    B-body drums on the front of a 65 Cuda?

    I would stick with your current setup until a disk conversion was possible. I realize that you will see a small difference in braking, but 1) you will still have drum brakes, and 2) the money you spend on this conversion could go towards a disk conversion. No matter how little you think you will...

    Is Your Car Shining?

    If your paint is in good condition, I will HIGHLY recommend a ceramic coating. Now before the haters pile on, all I can say is that I have had AMAZING results with it. I used the Blackfire system from Autogeek.net. It takes a while to apply. I have used it on 4 cars; my 69 Barracuda, my 2018...

    65 Dart Dual Reservoir Conversion Kit????

    I have a friend with a 65 Dart GT Convertible. It is a really cool car. Factory /6, buckets and 4 speed. He wants to convert to dual reservoir brakes. Does anybody provide / sell a complete kit? If not, what is his best option? Thanks in advance.

    need help on paint

    You didn't mention touchup of entire paint job. That makes a big difference. For an entire paint job, minor variances in the exact factory color will likely not be noticeable, For an entire respray, I like the Restoration Shop Color Library Paint from TCP Global.

    '63 Gets Respect

    I have never seen 2 carbs on a slant 6. I assume that was rare?

    Did Factory Undercoat the Fuel Tanks?

    I know the Mark Harmon haters will pile onto this, but here goes. I was watching Graveyard cars a while back, and Mark talked about this. According to him, the tank did not get sprayed.

    Fenderwell cutting templates !

    I have never installed fenderwell headers, but since I am experienced with major automobile surgery, I feel able to comment. I totally agree with cut small. In fact I would say measure twice, Think twice, picture in your mind twice then cut small. You should be able to lay the headers on top of...

    Could you please post a few more pictures.

    The Most Devastating Engineering Miscue Found in Early A-Bodies

    63-67 Corvettes had two rectangular cowl vents that were about 4"x10" each, and they were held in with philips head screws. Easy out; easy in. If I do another A body, I am definitely going to replicate that idea. Done properly, it would be seamless and quite functional.
