That's a lot of work. I used 50 year rated black roof sealant in a caulking tube to seal and smooth out the seams. Helps keep water and such out of them, makes it more visually appealing and it's paintable. Welding upside down on dissimilar metal thickness's took some experimenting for me. I...

As you can see, there are different points of view on nearly everything. Inverted-Y set-ups, inverted-T and crossover set-ups it's easy to miss the forest for the trees. Most aftermarket suspension companies have one form of crossover steering kits for a reason. They can be very effective in...

Adding a panhard bar to your leaf spring front suspension on your '68 is not the best solution by itself. Adding the conversion of your steering linkage from the way the factory designed to a cross link type linkage will resolve your issue much better. I had a similar issue with my old 4wd, '68...

I used the US Cartool weld-to-the-floor connectors, and was able to route the one piece brake and fuel lines through them without an issue, as they have sections where there is a gap between the connector channel and the floor to allow room for them to pass through between the two parts.

Is this a catalyzed clear? 600 seems way too aggressive. What does the paint supplier recommend for dry time before recoating?

I picked up a used 2000 5.9 Magnum, swapped the valve springs, did a Keg manifold modification, resealed the motor and put a Hughes cam & double roller timing chain in it. I went with the factory EFI using a PCM from a 1999 Ram pickup with 5 speed & no security from SOLO PCM's in Florida. I...

I love notchbacks and convertibles. Welcome! I followed the following path and lived with a slant 6 for 10 years. I finally was done with it and went the 5.9 Magnum route. I would highly recommend upgrading the brakes and wheels to a big bolt pattern. Brake upgrade being the most important...

I eventually want to use a Whipple style blower on my stroked 5.9 in my '68. Part of the current build's problem is that I have 10.2 to 1 compression and the engine cranks at 200 psi. With the aluminum Eddie heads heads I the tune I have on it, I can run on pump premium out here in California...

I've had good fit and seal with the Softseal stuff. It has been the best of any so far. I also carefully use the black 3M Super Weatherstrip adheasive, so I don't see any yellow( the other color available). Regarding the metallic, avoid it if you can. It takes good technique to get right(even...

Awesome. You will want the entire US Cartool Chassis Stiffening kit along with some under fender bracing that passes through the firewall near the kick panels, connects to the front area of the door sill, and continues about 6" to 10" above the door sill back to the roll bar. The higher you can...

Weld it in.

If you are not going to EFI and overdrive it, you are missing out on a whole new level of enjoyment, performance and convenience.

It's hard to see in the picture I posted, but I bought the factory dark red colored decal that fills that middle section. It carries the red of the taillights across the center section. I like the look very much.

That does look sweet. Great to see your craftsmanship.

I love the look of canvas tops on these cars. Nice work. I bet the entire car just pops in person. The only thing I noticed that I thought might enhance the look is to tie the light reverse light lenses in with a light colored trunk trim. In place of that currently a blacked out trunk trim. My...

My '68 'vert had significant cowl shake after installing the sub-frame connectors and under radiator brace. The under fender bracing and welding the shock towers to the inner fenderwells made a huge improvement. Before I welded them in, I noticed there were already cracks forming on the inner...

Looks beautiful! I didn't go through the entire post, so forgive me if I missed it, but why no sub-frame connectors and other chassis reinforcement? The made a dramatic night and day difference in handling, ride and launch response on my '68 convertible. I can't imaging how that much power isn't...

They require a rollbar at Willow Springs Raceway on convertibles. I try to go on the Thursdays before Spring Fling, because there's a great group of Mopar guys there and it's a lot of fun. I bought a kit from Summit and welded it in. It had extra tubes to make a 6-point bar, but I didn't want...

I love the build, and am curious about a few things. I see the fuel pump being above the tank and the line routed from it passing above the muffler. The only pumps I ever found that are rated to lift fuel above the tank are the ones from Product Engineering. Are you going to insulate the fuel...

I love the late 60's Notch's and convertible Barracuda's. You may want to order the seat foam and covers, door panels, headliner and carpet from Legendary Interiors and then drop the car off at a shop to have it all installed. Have the headliner done professionally anyway, if you are replacing...

I think the factory yellow paint just holds up well on these cars. Mine still has 75% original paint and no rust, as seen in these two photos including one with my buddy surrounded by someone else's doughnuts. I did make a few performance upgrades to the car though.

Thanks for your service! Hope all your projects work out well. There is a way to use the 200R4 without an adapter plate. A guy can use a Reid SFI rated bellhousing which bolts to the trans with a small CNC'd adapter. It looks lots better too. I agree about the subframe connecters. You might...

Wow, you do some very nice work!!! I love these old a-body convertibles. Mines a '68, but it's a daily driver that looks good from 15 feet (50 feet is even better, LOL) with several performance enhancing mods, but you have a great show car coming together there!!! Thanks for the wonderful job on...
